Apple told us last month it would make AppleCare+ available for anybody who just knows they’re going to break Apple Watch’s display. Apple still hasn’t officially revealed pricing, but a leaked internal screenshot may have just revealed the extra cost of insuring your timepiece.
AppleCare+ for the Apple Watch Sport will start at $59, according to a screenshot obtained by MacRumors. The site says it can’t verify whether the screenshot is legit, but other sites are reporting the same thing.
According to the leaked images, AppleCare+ for the the stainless steel Apple Watch with Sport Band will be priced at $79. The gold Apple Watch Edition will come with an extra $999 markup for AppleCare+.
Whether different Apple Watch bands will effect the price of AppleCare+ is still unclear. Sport bands only cost $49 apiece, but others, like the Link bracelet, cost up to $449. Pre-orders for the Apple Watch begin April 10. Stores will also offer 15-minute reservations to try on the Apple Watch so you can find the perfect watch-and-band combo before the official launch April 24.

LOL at the $999 price tag on the Applecare for the gold version.

That’s like pocket change to the rich
Jeez for $900.00 you would think the watch would come with solar charging like my Citizens eco-drive which is considerably less.
citizens watches for poor people
I find it very difficult to imagine anyone with any sense will buy this thing at any price. Beyond the Apple hard core who would buy an empty sack if Apple sold it, this is a Turkey In Waiting. Zero = Zero.
