Is AppleCare+ renewable on the Apple Watch and other “less expensive” Apple devices?

[Rory76]

I have paid in full/upfront AppleCare+ (AC+) coverage on my Apple Watch and AirPods Pro. Both plans have less than 6 months of coverage remaining of the two years of AC+ coverage. At the expiration of these plans, I’d like to continue with the AC+ coverage if at all possible. If I recall correctly, a couple of years ago, Apple made the decision to allow owners of certain Apple products with paid in full/upfront AC+ coverage to continue their coverage on a month to month basis at the expiration date of the initial coverage. Is this correct, and if so, is Apple still allowing this? Is it limited to only certain “higher price” items such as iPads and iPhones or is this possible on Apple Watches, Airpods, and other “less expensive” Apple products? Also, how does one go about renewing their AppleCare+ coverage on these items? Thanks in advance!

Watches are eligible, here is Apple's support article.

Thank you for that. The language is quite vague as it states “you might be able to” renew the coverage.

I just signed up for the month-to-month AppleCare+ as my two year protection was about to expire on my AW6.

Were you notified by Apple that the AppleCare+ was expiring and offered the opportunity to renew on a monthly basis or did you reach out to them to renew the AppleCare+?

It'll show up in the Watch app on your phone. I think you'll get a notification as you get closer to end of the window to extend.

I can confirm. I just picked up a Titanium Series 5 at a steal of a price that the AppleCare+ was set to end this month. I was able to setup month to month today.

Sorry for late reply. I happened to be looking at the watch app and saw the notice that my coverage was ending in a few weeks. There was an option to extend coverage. I don’t know if Apple sends an email as the deadline approaches, but it would make sense.
