Does Apple Care cover the band of the watch original order?

FYI...

"Service coverage is available only for the Apple Watch and its original included accessories that are defective in materials or workmanship or for battery depletion of 50 percent or more from original specification. The replacement equipment that Apple provides as part of the repair or replacement service may be new or equivalent to new in both performance and reliability. See terms at AppleCare+ for full details."

Hmmmmmm. I ordered the 42mm SS BSB with Apple Care and ordered the bracelet later.

I may have made a mistake.

Everything purchased from Apple typically had their 1 year warranty, so save your receipt. You may not get the AppleCare+ coverage after the first year however.

That's very useful to know.

Second generation, may well order the space black watch. Or may sit out till third generation. Very happy so far with first gen device.

I agree with this. Even though you purchased the link bracelet separately, that comes with it's own 1 year warranty, so you should be good.

Not worried about the first year. However, if I had bought my watch with bracelet and AC. Both would be covered for 2 years.

I should have thought of that when I placed my watch order.
