Channel Your Inner Phone Jedi: For those who prefer the convenience of their couch, you can call Apple Support. Just be prepared to answer a few questions and run a quick remote diagnostic test on your watch to confirm its pristine condition.

Absolutely! Think of it as an investment in your own peace of mind. Plus, with all the adventures you're about to embark on with your new Apple Watch guardian by your side, wouldn't it be nice to know it's covered in case of any mishaps?
Now get out there and conquer your day (or at least make it through rush hour without turning your wrist into a disaster zone). Your Apple Watch, thanks to the magic of AppleCare+, will be there every step of the way.
