Bob, with what authority do you say that? Are you an Apple employee and heard that from the top or is that your interpretation of the news? I read an article about the ripple effect of the ban, one point being not repairing or servicing out of warranty watches

I'll be completely honest. This whole thing has made me lose trust in my Apple Watch Ultra 2. I doubt I can get a refund at this point, but I'll sell it off for a Garmin. I'd be highly upset if something happens and I get hit with "Sorry, we can't help you" message. This is early on in the ban. No telling where this might end up.

If it does, Apple will refuse to repair it. But if you get a case w/ a screen protector, you should be fine. I use a Misxi 2 Pack Hard PC Case with Tempered Glass Screen Protector (45 MM) for my Series 9 which you can find on Amazon.


You can also use alternative repair places as they might still have a Series 9 45mm/41mm screen and it also makes the repair way cheaper.
