Over time, your Apple Watch will start to show signs of normal wear and tear. Yet, if the watch breaks or stops working at any time, you might need to check the coverage for AppleCare and AppleCare+ to see if your watch is eligible repair.

It's important to note that the AppleCare warranty doesn't cover issues with batteries, scratches, dents, or normal wear and tear.

Check Your Apple Watch Warranty Using the Apple Support App

The Apple Support app is an easy way to see information about all of your Apple products associated with an Apple ID. You can also check your warranty status using the app.

  2. From the Discover screen, select the Account icon at the top of the screen.

  3. Select Check Coverage from the menu items. Here, you'll see a list of your current Apple products associated with your Apple ID and whether or not you have a current warranty.
