You have 60 days to buy Apple Care+ for a device.


Apple has published the steps on their US website on how to do this for an Apple Watch in AppleCare Products - Watch - Apple. If you are elsewhere look at your local Apple website for contact details, but the instructions will remain the same.


  1. Purchase AppleCare+ with your new Apple Watch.
  2. Or buy it within 60 days of your Apple Watch purchase:
  • On your paired iPhone (go to the Watch app > General > About and choose AppleCare+ Coverage Available)
  • Online (requires you to verify your serial number and run a remote diagnostic)
  • At an Apple Store (inspection of Apple Watch and proof of purchase are required)
  • By calling 800-275-2273 (requires you to run a remote diagnostic and provide proof of purchase
