Hey lnken,


We're grateful that you posted here so we can help you figure this out.


This is a great question and there are certainly cases where an AppleCare plan can be transferred to a new owner. This article goes into details on how that works and how the current owner would go about setting this up: Transfer your AppleCare plan - Apple Support We hope that answers your question!


While we have you here, however, we want to share this resource with you with regard to purchasing/selling a pre-owned Apple Watch: What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your Apple Watch, or buy one from someone else - Apple Support. We would strongly recommend making sure that the current owner of that Apple Watch Ultra follows all of the guidance in that article. Failure to do so may make it impossible for you to set up and use the Apple Watch once you have made the purchase.


Thank you for being a part of the community here. We hope this information helps!


Best wishes.
