You should have the seller contact AppleCare Plan Administration if they want to transfer the plan to you. And it does matter if the plan is fully paid for or on a month to month payment basis.


Also, before you buy this watch, don't be a victim as so many who come here daily are and make sure the seller does everything required in this link to prepare the watch appropriately for you as the next user --> What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your Apple Watch, or buy one from someone else - Apple Support

Thank you but I'm asking as a potential buyer of an Apple watch with an active 2-year AppleCare+ plan.

I want to know if I need to have the seller contact Apple Support as I did in a similar situation when I purchased an M1 MBP last year.

The difference being that that was a $3000 computer and this is a $200-$300 used watch...
