Apple Care

I have a new AW 6 and wanted to be clear on what is covered under Apple Care. I am thinking of buying AC for the watch.

Thanks for the information. So, is it worth it to buy AC for a Watch? My main concern is if the Watch drops on the ground or in water or if the screen hits something hard that cracks the screen.

I’d say it’s worth it. I’ve smacked mine against a table / door frame and not realized I did it until I see the cracked screen. Used the Apple support app to get a replacement. Never had to make a single phone call.

I agree! I definitely think it’s worth it!

Apple Care is one of those things where if you don't have it and need it, you'll wish you had of got it. I had a MacBook die on me one time and Apple Care covered everything where as if I didn't have it, I would have been out $2500+ in repairs or replacement costs. It was in that moment I realized how beneficial it was to have it. Get the Apple Care.

I bought an AppleCare for an iMac - replaced everything except the case and twice the matrix, the computer is less than a year old. The iPad works for itself, and works.
