Description
I found a black Garmin smartwatch with a bright blue silicone strap this afternoon around 3:45pm in the car park behind Colchester Castle in Essex. It's in decent condition, a few light scratches on the screen and a minor scuff on the bezel. The back has a small engraving that reads 'M.K. 04/08', and the strap holes are a touch stretched from regular wear. The watch is about 42mm with a rugged, sporty look and the Garmin logo is clearly visible on the face. If you recognize it, drop me a message here and we’ll arrange a safe handover to the owner.

How to safely return this item
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the owner before handing it back
- Ask the claimant for a specific identifying detail before confirming.
- If valuable, ask for a photo with matching ID, receipt, or original packaging.
- Never post the precise location publicly. Share it only with a verified owner.
- Do not accept payment to return it. That is a red flag for a scam claim.
Meet in a safe, public place
- Police stations, café entrances, transport hubs, and shop foyers all work.
- Meet during daylight hours where there is CCTV and foot traffic.
- Avoid private homes, car parks at night, or isolated locations.
Bring someone with you
- Tell a friend or family member where you are meeting and when.
- Share your live location with them during the handoff.
- For high-value items, consider contacting your local police station for advice first.
Keep communication on lostandfound.io
- Use the in-app message thread so there is a record if something goes wrong.
- Do not move to WhatsApp, SMS, or email until you have exchanged a verifying detail.
- Never share bank details, government ID numbers, or copies of your ID.
