Cracked my screen with applecare

I have not done it yet but from what I have seen here, just the body.

With AppleCare+ I think you get two replacements on your plan so if you don't want to wait you might check into that.

 

What's the point of having AC+ if you won't use it? You're entitled to two accidental damage replacements, and any manufacturing defects won't count toward that.

 

AppleCare+ will send  Watch only in small box, you then return  Watch only in same box.

 

Keep in mind you most likely have compromised the water barrier due to the crack in the screen, so you're not actually testing how robust the water resistance is.

 

I would not do anything that is not covered by warranty or use per Apple's specifications. If you try to return the watch and they find it full of water, they may think you damaged the screen AFTER you dove 100 feet in water with it!

Just return it and take advantage of your AppleCare! You paid of it, enjoy the benefits of it! Be happy, not sad!

 

I don't think it really matters. The OP has cracked the screen so he has to pay the deductible either way, and any damage is covered under AC+.

He just won't be able to test the robustness of the Watch's water resistance as the water barrier is most likely compromised due to the crack in the screen.

 

I hate to see the good remaining hardware ruined just for the OP's entertainment
