Apple Watch gets loss coverage under AppleCare One, finally pairing unlimited accidental damage repair with device replacement. For fitness users deep in the Apple ecosystem, that’s the coverage combo that actually justifies AppleCare One’s cost.

Marty’s Take:

Loss coverage on a $799 Apple Watch Ultra matters more than the headline suggests: it’s Apple quietly matching what Garmin and Samsung owners get for free by not living in fear of losing a $400 device. The real signal is Apple treating the Watch as insurance-grade hardware, not an accessory. If replacement cost has kept you on the fence, check our best fitness tracker picks before you buy in.
