    Why would you even think that you can find some random watch?

    There is no "Carleigh" watch in Fossil's products, but there is a
    "Carlie"...

    ...and it's just a watch.

    Sorry for the misspell. Carleigh Gen 5 it is. Unfotunatelly, Fossil dropped smart phone business last year, I think.
    BTW, it is synced to the phone by BT and most important is that it
    communicates with the phone quite well. So it is not a random watch. I used
    it in the Android ecosystem before I moved to the Apple world.

    The watch is called "Carlyle":

    This is also wrong. See my former post with a link to exactly to this
    watch on youtube.

    Maybe you need to install that watch’s app.

    There is watchOS from Apple and Wear OS from Google.
    To locate the watch it has to be turned on and have some juice left.

    I guess you've already got the Fossil Smartwatches App for iOS. <https://www.fossil.com/en-us/watches/learn-more/fossil-smartwatch-app/>

    Probably very few people have it or use it, so the chances of getting
    an answer to your question here about a 'find missing watch' function
    in that app is pretty much zero. You would need to ask in a Fossil
    Smartwatch user forum somewhere or ask Fossil direct via their contact
    webpage: <https://support.fossilgroup.com/s/contactsupport>.

    Does this mean watchOS can work with other brands than Apple Watch?
    You don't need the specific brand's watch app?

    That answers your question.

    I own also a Fossil Smart Watch. No other App needed.

    I saw these on Amazon Vine but I didn't think to get them for free yet.
    <https://www.amazon.com/s?k=fossil+carlyle+watch>

    Being purposefully helpful, I looked up the app first for Android:
    <https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fossil.wearables.fossil> And then I looked to see if the app was available for iOS, which it is:
    <https://apps.apple.com/us/app/fossil-smartwatches/id1027370544>

    Interesting app... which seems to do what the OP seems to be asking for:
    *Find your smartwatches based on the last location of your device*

    According to those listings, the Fossil Carlyle app also does these things:
    Pair/ activate all Fossil smartwatches with your smartphone
    Show notifications of incoming calls and messages
    Show notification from other applications of your phone
    Get real-time weather information based on your current location
    Track steps, distance, calories burned and sleep quality
    Connect to voice assistant services

    Note I cut and pasted that list of what it does from the Android listing.

    Always being purposefully helpful, I also looked for what it does in the
    iOS listing, but I didn't see a line-item list of what it does on iOS.

    Amazingly, Apple is not responsible for Fossil writes in their app descriptions.

    Ai still need the Wear OS app that has both Android and iOS versions.

    It’s on both the Google Play store and AppStore.

    I looked at both app descriptions and the Android one says this verbatim:
    *Find your smartwatches based on the last location of your device*

    See my other post in this thread for the links if you need them.

    If you can't find your smartwatch using the app, it wouldn't be the first
    time app functionality on Android was impossible to do on Apple devices;
    but it's too early to even suggest that possibility until you look on iOS.

    Let us know if the iOS app can do what the Android app says it can do to
    find your smartwatches as that way we all learn from your endeavors.
