The Apple Watch is not easy to repair due to its highly integrated components. In the past, repair costs have been prohibitively expensive, and basically unless it is a bad battery, any physical damage to any other part is a “single price”. Now with the launch of the Apple Watch Ultra, which has a new price tag, the estimated repair cost of the series has also reached a new high, reaching a new height of NT$15,490 / HK$3,889, which is not only enough to buy a Series 8, but also Looking for money.
However, Watch Ultra maintenance is expensive, relatively speaking, this is almost 60% of the new watch. In comparison, the estimated repair cost of the most basic Series 8 is NT$9,290 / HK$2,349, which is regarding 75% of the new watch; while the estimated repair cost of the Watch SE is NT$6,390 / HK$1,599, which is even higher than the new model. 80% of the table. This basically means that unless you have purchased Apple Care+ service, it is better to buy a new one than to have it repaired. With Apple Care+, the damage repair fee for Ultra, Series 8 and SE is NT$2,500 / HK$618, NT$2,200 / HK$548 and NT$2,200 / HK$548 respectively.
So, if you have a slippery hand or a friend who bumps frequently, don’t forget to add Apple Care+ when you buy an Apple Watch.
