So Your Apple Watch Needs a Sidekick? Enter AppleCare+ (Without the Spandex)
Let's face it, admitting your precious Apple Watch needs a little extra TLC can feel like admitting you gasp don't walk perfectly well on a tightrope. But hey, even daredevils need a backup plan (and a helmet, seriously). That's where AppleCare+ swoops in, like Batman to a… well, a broken Apple Watch.

But First, Why AppleCare+ for Your Watch?
Because, my friend, accidents happen. You're out there, conquering your fitness goals (or, ahem, pretending to conquer them with a brisk walk to the coffee shop), and bam! Your watch takes a tumble. Or maybe you, in a moment of exuberance (or perhaps while untangling headphones, a universal struggle), dunk your watch a little too enthusiastically in your morning smoothie.
Tip: Read actively — ask yourself questions as you go.![]()
Here's the not-so-fun part: standard Apple warranties don't cover everyday mishaps. That morning smoothie incident? Yeah, that's gonna cost you. AppleCare+, however, is your knight in shining armor (or, more realistically, a friendly Apple service person with a toolbox). It covers things like:
QuickTip: Reading regularly builds stronger recall.![]()
- Accidental damage: Spilled lattes, rogue soccer balls, overenthusiastic greetings with the doorframe - AppleCare+ has your back (or, well, your watch's back).
- Battery service: Because let's be honest, eventually all batteries weaken. AppleCare+ ensures your watch keeps up with your ever-growing notification count.
- Priority access to tech support: Tech problems? No worries! AppleCare+ puts you at the front of the line for help, meaning less time waiting on hold and more time, well, doing whatever it is you do with your awesome watch.
Basically, AppleCare+ is like a superhero sidekick for your Apple Watch. It's there to catch it when it falls, fix it when it breaks, and make sure it's always ready for action (or, you know, perfectly capturing that perfect latte art photo).

There are two main ways to get AppleCare+ on your Apple Watch:
Tip: Stop when confused — clarity comes with patience.![]()
- Be a master planner and get it when you buy your watch: This is the easiest option, and lets you breathe a sigh of relief knowing your watch is covered from day one.
- Not a planner? No problem! You can still add AppleCare+ within 60 days of purchasing your watch. Just head to the Apple website or call Apple Support (they're super friendly, we promise). There will be a quick diagnostic to make sure your watch is in tip-top shape, and then you're good to go!
Remember, you have a 60-day window to add AppleCare+. Don't wait until your watch bungee jumps off a bridge (don't try this at home!) to decide it needs protection.
So there you have it! Getting AppleCare+ for your Apple Watch is a breeze. Now you can go forth and conquer the world (or at least your daily step goal) with peace of mind. And remember, even superheroes need a backup plan.
