Apple Care+ for Apple Watch Edition priced as high as $999

Apple Care and Apple Care+ are both available for Apple Watch. For the $10,000 Apple Watch Edition timepiece, the Apple Care+ protection plan will cost as high as $999. You could almost buy three Apple Watch Sport models for that price. Apple Care coverage for the Apple Watch Edition includes two years of 24/7 support and a hotline to call if you need help setting up your watch. Apple Care+ includes an additional third year of technical support and will cover two incidents of accidental hardware damage.

Apple Care+ coverage for the aluminum Sport version will cost $59 while the same protection for the stainless steel unit will cost $79. Coverage for those two models will include two years of technical support and coverage for two incidents of accidental hardware damage. Apple Care and Apple Care+ are offered to Apple Watch buyers at the time of purchase.

Apple Watch repairs will not be done at Apple Stores. Instead, damaged watches will be sent to a third party for repair. In-store replacements can be done at the Genius Bar inside Apple's retail outlets, and the process of being sent a technical replacement can be done over the phone. If you purchased an Apple Care plan, you will need to send your damaged watch back first before receiving the replacement. Those with Apple Care+ will receive their replacement watch first before sending back the damaged Apple Watch.
