Supposedly Apple will void the warranty on their products if they detect tobacco use or if it is used in the development of nuclear weapons.

Apple Watch Ultra Repairs Cost $499 Without AppleCare+

Insurance on average only makes financial sense to protect a person from a catastrophic loss.
Especially on a tech product like this that you'll probably want to replace in 3 - 5 years.
You’re correct on both points, but left off a third point: You can own more than one watch.
In my small collection, I have:
Breitling SuperOcean Heritage II w/red gold for a nice evening or event
Seiko 5 Automatic (like Pepsi, but I call it my Superman watch) that I use as one of my dailies.
G-Shock G-Steel for dress-down daily.
Nixon quartz that was a best man gift from my brother as another daily.
Apple Watch S6 Nike for another daily.
And soon the Ultra for a Weekender.
I actively use all of those listed. I have a few more just to keep/collect that I don’t wear - like mementos. Out of the list above, only the Apple Watches will get swapped out. The rest I will keep to use, then pass down.
The majority of Apple watch ultra buyers will be deskchair warriors whose greatest risk is banging it against the rails in the bathroom stall at work. The customers that should get AppleCare+ on this watch are the 25% or so who are active like the people in the launch video.
5 laptop screen repairs in 4 years? Yikes. You seem like a clumsy person, so yes, I agree, you should buy AppleCare. I'll stick to my credit card extended warranty.
Is it an actual repair or they just swapping it out for a refurbished model?
I'd be surprised if you can actually repair an Apple Watch, particularly a Pro.

I would normally agree, but my daughter's MacBook Air (2020) is on its third screen. The keyboard appears to damage the screen - you can do a search for the massive number of threads that Apple HASN'T whitewashed on apple discussions - and it's super fragile.
Also - i'm retarded and didn't get AC+ on her Mac. My son's has it, thank goodness.....
Why wouldn’t you just get AppleCare at $5? Maybe I missed it. As others stated, this is a normal affordable watch. Rich? I like Omegas and those are $8-15k+, much cheaper than a Rolex.
I’m not going to be Deep diving, but I like the battery life and satellite capability if I’m out camping. I also wanted a bigger dial.

The problem with that argument is that a Rolex lasts forever, and has high resale value.
Apple Watch is worthless after 3-4 years.
(the flaw to my counter-argument is that Omega, Rolex, Breitling, etc. require expensive bi-annual service, so it's actually "$8k-15k" [or less] plus $250-500 each time...)
It's £89 or £4.49 for my SS series 8. Still deciding? Paying the £89 does work out a little cheaper though.
Hmm, first time I’m considering apple care + price isn’t too bad. Only reason I’m even thinking about it is due to the high price of repair in the event of an accident.
I changed my SS Graphite for the Ultra and took out AC+ this afternoon. For £4.99 a month I think it's with it.
Is it true, that if you purchase it for $99 for the two years and when that expires they offer you to move onto the $4.99 monthly if you want?
Don't break it on day 49! If you do decide to take it out it will start from the day you purchased the watch, not from when you take out the AC+. (Don't know where I read that but I think it's the case)
Well I tend to put it on charge each night certainly when working. On my wrist at 5am and at 21.18 and still on 57%. So good for my ussge
Mine's currently on 45% from a full charge at 3:30pm yesterday.
