Bought a Watch 6 from a professional seller on ebay. How can I make sure it's not a fake?

Galaxy Watch

So yeah, ebay lured me in with a redeemable code for electronics, which made the watch 6 a great deal. The watch and packaging look very professional, but is there a way to make sure this isn't a fake? Plus, when turning the watch on, it tells me 'galaxy watch6 (RS5H)'

.. What does the RS5H mean?

Thanks!

The lesson here is don't buy stuff like this off eBay.

Why would it be a fake?

I've just never bought expensive product on ebay, and there are counterfeits you can get from AliExpress and the like.

Gotta admit though, everything about this watch looks original.

Will check the serial number and register the product when at home!

Counterfeit watches are always obviously fake.

RS5H is the last 4 of the serial number.

If your gonna buy something from ebay, always check the seller rating first. It's a pretty good way to tell if a seller is trustworthy or not.

Exactly. Not to mention, they have an authenticity guarantee so I would def be coming after them if there is an issue.

Does the Galaxy Wearable app show Watch 6 when you connect the watch to your phone?

You can also try to register your device here: https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00089142/ , although, if it's used, there's a chance it could already be registered.

Afaik, RS5H is the current firmware version.

Why would it matter if it performs and looks so good you can't easily tell
