Leaked screenshot shows AppleCare+ Protection prices for Apple Watch 

The new Apple Watch devices aren't exactly the most affordable wearables out there. And it would seem that it'll cost you a bit for AppleCare+ Protection, too. According to leaked screenshots, AppleCare+ plans for the Apple Watch Sport will start at US$59, $79 for the Apple Watch model, and it might go up to $999 for the Apple Watch Edition.  

AppleCare+ will also reportedly extend Sport and stainless Watch warranties by a couple of years and handle up to two incidents of accidental damage. This would be somewhat similar to the extended warranty of the iPhone and iPad. Do remember though that this isn't the official announcement from Apple yet so the price could still change.
