I think the confusion is that most people who have damaged a watch and do not have AppleCare+ realize that it’s almost as expensive to buy a new watch as it is to buy a out of warranty replacement, so why the hell would they do it? Also because your are buying a watch with only a 90 day warranty, it’s considered a sale and not anything that has to do with the warranty. Which is another reason not to do it.
Also, warranty verbiage has changed for damaged devices that have Applecare+ in the past. For one thing, it used to call a damaged device out of warranty, even if you had Applecare+, BUT would say that for a deductible you can have the deviced repaired and put back into in-warranty status. (It still might, as I don’t read the fine print anymore because it’s too small for my old eyes).
So Rob, don’t cancel it because Apple can still service your watch and replace it for the deductible if it’s damaged.
