<div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p class="intro">Getting AppleCare+ for your shiny new Apple Watch Edition will reportedly cost you $999.</p> <p>As we previously reported, the Apple Watch Edition will come with an extra level of care already, with a two-year warranty and two years of free technical support. In contrast, both the Sport and stainless steel models come with a one-year limited warranty, and 90 days of support. AppleCare+ will extend the Edition's warranty to three years, but you'll need to be ready to pay, according to 9to5Mac:</p>

<p>To go along with the premium $10,000 and up pricing of the 18-karat gold Apple Watch Edition, Apple will charge up to $999 for the Apple Watch Edition's AppleCare+ Protection Plan, 9to5Mac has learned. The Apple Watch Edition notably has very different AppleCare coverage from other Apple Watch models, coming with two years of 24/7 support and a special setup hotline right out of the box.</p>

<p>For the Apple Watch Sport and stainless steel Apple Watch, AppleCare+ pricing is said to cost $59 and $79, respectively. AppleCare+ for those models will add a second year to your watch's hardware warranty, two years of free technical support, and two incidents of accidental damage, a perk which also extends to the Edition, and will be subject to a service fee.</p> <p>While it hasn't been explicitly stated, it's likely that customers will be able to order AppleCare+ for their Apple Watch when pre-orders and in-store previews begin on April 10.</p> <p>Source: 9to5Mac</p> <div class="devicebox"> <h3>Apple Watch</h3> <div class="video"><div class="video_iframe"><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/oSWq43X9S_M?rel=0&autoplay=0&wmode=opaque&controls=2&autohide=1&showinfo=0" width="627" height="353" class="video-filter video-youtube vf-oswq43x9sm" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div></div>  <ul><li>Apple Watch buyers guide</li> <li>Apple Watch specs</li> <li>Apple Watch FAQ</li> <li>Apple Watch news hub</li> <li>Apple Watch discussion</li> <li>WatchKit FAQ</li> <li>WatchKit best practices</li> </ul></div> <div> <style> <![CDATA[/* ><![CDATA[/* ><![CDATA[/* ><!]]]]]]><![CDATA[><![CDATA[>*/ /*--><!]]]]><![CDATA[>*/ /*--><!]]>*/ </style></div> </div></div></div><img width='1' height='1' src='
