How do I find my band size?

Apple Watch bands are available in a variety of styles and sizes. First, you’ll need to choose a case size and band style to see which band sizes are available with that combination. The band you choose will specify the maximum and minimum wrist size. To get the correct band size, we recommend that you precisely measure around your wrist. If you choose an Apple Watch with a Sport Band, first select your case size, then select your band size. Sport Bands only come with one size in the box. If you choose a Solo Loop or Braided Solo Loop band, you’ll need to use the sizing guide to find your exact size. Our sizing for these bands has changed, so please use the updated sizing guide even if you’ve purchased one in the past. When you shop for Solo Loop bands, there are step-by-step instructions to help you measure your wrist using a printable tool or household objects so you can find the correct size.

What’s the difference between GPS and GPS + Cellular?

The GPS + Cellular model allows you to stay connected to the people and information you care about with just your Apple Watch. With a carrier plan you can send and receive text messages, answer phone call, receive Notifications, and stream Apple Music and Apple Podcasts without needing your iPhone nearby. With the GPS model, you must be connected to your iPhone via Bluetooth® or Wi-Fi to send and receive text messages, answer phone calls and receive notifications. The built-in GPS works independently of your iPhone for distance, pace and route mapping in workouts. Learn more about cellular and which carriers support Apple Watch(Opens in a new window)

◊ Service coverage is available only for covered devices and their original included accessories for protection against (i) batteries that retain less than 80% of their original capacity and (ii) unlimited incidents of accidental damage. Accidental damage means physical damage from handling due to unexpected and unintentional events. Replacement equipment that Apple provides as part of the repair or replacement service may contain new or previously used genuine Apple parts that have been tested and pass Apple functional requirements. Each incident of accidental damage protection is subject to a service fee. If you have a plan with theft and loss coverage, each incident of theft or loss is subject to a service fee. For complete details, see the Terms and Conditions(Opens in a new window).

For Apple Watch, the band that is covered for accidental damage and defects in material or workmanship under your plan is the band that came in the same box as the covered Apple Watch. Any replacement band will be an Apple-branded band in a style, material, and colour that is subject to Apple’s discretion.

Service coverage is provided under the Terms and Conditions of your AppleCare plan applicable to your country or region. Service coverage outside the country of purchase of your AppleCare plan is not guaranteed. The availability and type of service option may vary depending on your device model, applicable local laws, regulations and legal requirements, and the capabilities of Apple Authorised Service Providers in the location where service is requested. Some service options may not be available in all areas. If service is available and repair is possible, Apple may, at its discretion, offer to repair or replace your device using locally sourced models or parts that meet local standards and regulations, which may differ from the original device in terms of colour and/or specifications. Availability of international replacement for lost or stolen devices is not guaranteed and is subject to availability and may vary by region, model and device configuration. For details, please review the Terms and Conditions(Opens in a new window).

For a complete list of all AppleCare fees, click here(Opens in a new window). Separate charges apply to each repair or replacement performed.

Express Replacement Service (“ERS”) is subject to availability, capability and local law at the time you seek service. Certain service options may not be available in locations where applicable laws, regulations or legal requirements restrict or prohibit the shipment, transportation, importation, exportation or return of devices, or otherwise prohibit the service option. ERS for Hardware Coverage for Accidental Damage to the Covered Equipment (excluding Included Accessories) is always subject to the Other Accidental Damage service fee and not the Screen-Only or Back Glass-Only service fees. If your device is replaced with Express Replacement Service, the original product becomes Apple’s property. The replacement product is your property and becomes the Covered Equipment. You are responsible for backing up all software programs, data and passwords residing on your original device.

AppleCare+ benefits are separate from and in addition to the Apple Limited Warranty and any legal rights provided by New Zealand consumer law. For details, click here (Opens in a new window).

AppleCare+ is an optional programme.

Coverage for accidental damage from handling and theft and loss under AppleCare+ is provided as a benefit pursuant to a group insurance policy that Apple Sales New Zealand (the insured) has purchased from AIG Insurance New Zealand Limited. Neither Apple nor its distributors are authorised to provide any financial advice in respect of the accidental damage from handling insurance cover. AIG Insurance New Zealand Limited has authorised Apple Sales New Zealand to handle any claims you may have for accidental damage from handling.

AIG Insurance New Zealand Limited underwrites the insurance and has an A+ (Strong) insurer financial strength rating given by Standard and Poor’s (Australia) Pty Ltd. The rating scale in summary form is: AAA Extremely Strong, AA Very Strong, A Strong, BBB Good, BB Marginal, B Weak, CCC Very Weak, CC Extremely Weak, SD Selective Default, D Default, R Regulatory Action, NR Not Rated. The rating from AA to CCC may be modified by the addition of a plus (+) or minus (-) sign to show relative standing within the major rating categories.
