So You Forgot About AppleCare? Don't Sweat It (Unless You Literally Do While Running With Your Watch)
Let's face it, between the excitement of picking out that snazzy new Apple Watch and, you know, life, AppleCare sometimes gets shoved to the bottom of the priority list. But fear not, butterfingers (or should we say, watch-droppers?), because adding AppleCare after you've bought your Apple Watch is totally possible.

But First: A Cautionary Tale (Because Nobody Likes a Lecture, But We All Love Schadenfreude)
We've all seen it (or maybe even been there): someone trips, their precious Apple Watch takes a tumble, and suddenly that shattered screen looks a whole lot less Retina and a whole lot more "replace me now, please!" Moral of the story: Accidents happen, and AppleCare is your knight in shining armor (or rather, scratch-resistant casing) when they do.
QuickTip: Short pauses improve understanding.
Breathe Easy, Because You've Got Options (Almost As Many As Watch Faces!)
Here's the good news: Apple gives you a generous 60-day window to add AppleCare after your Apple Watch purchase. Think of it as a chance to redeem yourself for forgetting in the first place. Now, let's explore how you can become an AppleCare-acquiring ninja:
Tip: Reread sections you didn’t fully grasp.
-
The Physical Store Showdown (For Those Who Crave Human Interaction): Head to your local Apple Store with your Apple Watch and your receipt in tow. Prepare for a brief inspection of your watch to make sure it's in tip-top shape (no cracks or water damage here!).
-
The Phone Call Caper (For the Socially Distanced or Introverted): Dial up Apple Support and get ready to flex your remote diagnostic skills. They'll basically run a virtual check-up on your watch to ensure it's eligible.
-
The App Approach (Because Convenience is King): This one requires your iPhone that's already paired with your Apple Watch. Open the Watch app, navigate to General > About, and then tap the magical words: "Add AppleCare+ Coverage." Easy peasy, lemon squeezy!
Remember: No matter which method you choose, you'll need to verify your purchase and pay the AppleCare fee.
Tip: Look for small cues in wording.
The End (Except for the Part Where You Enjoy Your Peace of Mind)
So there you have it! With AppleCare secured, you can now go forth and conquer your day (or at least your next workout) with the confidence that even if your watch takes a tumble, you won't be left with a broken heart (or a broken screen).
Tip: Read aloud to improve understanding.
