AppleCare+ cover cosmetic damage to watch band purchased with watch?

[Playgear]

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone knows if AppleCare+ For Apple Watch covers cosmetic damage to the watch band purchased with the watch?

I have a couple of reasonably deep scuffs/scratches on my stainless steel link bracelet.

Cheers,
PG

From my I understanding, cosmetic damage is not covered on any Apple Watch accessory or piece of hardware. But you can call Apple and double check to verify if that's accurate or not.

When I first ordered my stainless steel link bracelet, it had a scuff on it when It arrived from the factory. I called Apple and they initially denied the return, claiming it was cosmetic damage on my behalf. But then realizing I had it for a short period time, they it knowledged the exchange.
