Ceramic Series 12 is Pricier to Repair Than Apple Watch Ultra 4

Apple reintroduced a ceramic case for the Apple Watch Series 12, but if you don’t have AppleCare +, repairs are unusually expensive. It costs $599 to fix "other damage," which covers any repair besides a battery replacement. Battery service is priced at $99.

Repairing a ceramic Series 12 is more expensive than getting an Apple Watch Ultra 4 repaired. That repair costs $549 without ‌AppleCare‌+ (up $50 from the prior model). A repair for a cellular aluminum Series 12 of the same size is $349.

Apple Watch Series 12 models in the Pearl White or Night Blue ceramic options are priced starting at $899, while the ‌Apple Watch Ultra 4‌ is priced starting at $799. With ‌AppleCare‌+, Apple Watch users will only need to pay a $69 service fee for damage to the ceramic Apple Watch Series 12 or $79 for the ‌Apple Watch Ultra 4‌. Battery service is free if a watch’s battery capacity drops below 80 percent, and theft or loss has a $119 deductible.

Apple unveiled its new Apple Watch Ultra 4 and Apple Watch Series 12 lineup yesterday, plus the all-new AirPods 5. They hit shelves next Friday, September 18.
