My experience after owning several since launch has been that it takes around 3-4 years for the larger variant to stop lasting through the day if you use it to track workouts and spend a lot of time outdoors. Only once have I actually had a battery go bad, and I spent the $100 to get it replaced and handed it to another family member. It made sense at the time because a used stainless steel 6 was still worth more than that used.
Only get insurance for things that would be financially devastating: house, boat, car, life… for small items you should self insure, you'll be better off
Bought wife hers 4 years ago. Battery reduces similar to a cell phone i'd say. Nothing Applecare would cover as far as I know.
Not saying AC is a bad idea, but wouldnt get solely for battery coverage.

Probably worth investing apple care+ on these watches because the batteries likely crap out before the watch itself?

Thanks for the comments. I never bought extended warranty on electronics myself, but my son's Apple watch SE cellular battery health dropped to 80% in a year and it barely last half a day with just some messaging, no call no streaming. So I start wondering if the apple watch battery is prone to faults

? about the cellular model. Will it have its own number like a cell phone and I can make/receive calls from the watch itself?
Or will it be linked to my cell phone number and I can make/receive calls from the watch when my phone is nowhere near by? (Phone at home, watch with me elsewhere)
I agree, I have a series 6 that still last all day
I have a series 6 and I have to charge it before leaving work on days that I'm running. It will last a day if not working out, but I do a GPS hour or so recorded workout daily, and it'll die if I don't charge it ahead of time. It's worse on cold days.
i had a series 7 and decided to upgrade to this. its noticeably faster. i actually use my watch by itself while running so it was a big improvement. mostly just the speed. the bigger display is nice as well. apple watches are great if you work out or run
