Probably worth investing apple care+ on these watches because the batteries likely crap out before the watch itself?
My experience after owning several since launch has been that it takes around 3-4 years for the larger variant to stop lasting through the day if you use it to track workouts and spend a lot of time outdoors. Only once have I actually had a battery go bad, and I spent the $100 to get it replaced and handed it to another family member. It made sense at the time because a used stainless steel 6 was still worth more than that used.

Bought wife hers 4 years ago. Battery reduces similar to a cell phone i'd say. Nothing Applecare would cover as far as I know.
Not saying AC is a bad idea, but wouldnt get solely for battery coverage.

Only get insurance for things that would be financially devastating: house, boat, car, life… for small items you should self insure, you'll be better off
Thanks for the comments. I never bought extended warranty on electronics myself, but my son's Apple watch SE cellular battery health dropped to 80% in a year and it barely last half a day with just some messaging, no call no streaming. So I start wondering if the apple watch battery is prone to faults

Hmmmm. Poor advice based on one person's experience. I have a series 5 that holds a charge like brand new.
