Can I buy Apple Care for a refurbished Apple Watch?

Important notes

Purchase AppleCare+ with your new Apple Watch. Or buy it within 60 days of your Apple Watch purchase:

• Online (requires you to verify your serial number and run a remote diagnostic)
• Visit an Apple Store (inspection of Apple Watch and proof of purchase are required)
• Or call (800) 275-2273 (requires you to run a remote diagnostic and provide proof of purchase)

See AppleCare+ Terms and Conditions for complete product details.

Amazon sells products from a variety of sellers, including both new and used models (check the description carefully).

Used models may or may not have had Activation Lock properly removed by the seller prior to resale.

Even products that are sold as "new" or "unopened" on Amazon may not come with a full year's warranty.

Apple's One Year Limited Warranty starts from the date of that watch's original retail purchase. That date may be sooner than your date of purchase (and the warranty therefore shorter) if a watch that is described as "new" is actually being resold by a seller.

Also keep in mind that reviews of any product on Amazon are not necessarily reviews of that product when bought from the same seller that you are considering buying from.

To be assured of an authentic watch that does not have Activation Lock enabled and that comes with a full year's coverage under Apple's One Year Limited Warranty - and the option to add AppleCare+ - you may prefer to purchase directly from Apple.

Hi

AppleCare+ is only available to buy within 60 days of when the watch was originally purchased, as new, from Apple or an Apple Authorised Distributor.

Since Apple does not sell "refurbished" Apple Watches on Amazon, it would not be eligible for an Apple warranty at all, including AppleCare+. Whatever warranty you get is from the seller, not Apple.
