How good is the accident coverage for the Watch 8?

Dear Community,

I was wondering how good is AppleCare+ for Watch 8 regarding accidental damage or breakage?


Also, while I’m on the subject of AppleCare+ how is the IPhone AppleCare+ with theft/loss coverage? Worth 12$/month?

Apple Watch Series 8, watchOS 9

Good?

You get it replaced or repaired for the excess fee shown

If you buy the theft cover you get it replaced if it is lost or stolen according ti the schedule and excess for your country (mostly USA only)


You need to decide if the fee and excess fee matches your risk. If you're a regular swimmer or a builder it's probably worth it

You decide if the cost justifies the expense. If your iPhone is lost or stolen for example, can you afford to buy a brand new iPhone to replace it? I once had my iPhone stolen. They didn't offer Theft and Loss protection at that time. The cost of buying a brand new iPhone would have been so much less expensive if I could have filed a claim and paid a deductible.
