Apple Watch order and delivery FAQs

Do I need an Apple ID when I buy an Apple Watch?

You don’t need an Apple ID when you buy an Apple Watch, however you will need an Apple ID to activate and use both your iPhone and Apple Watch. 

Can I buy more than one Apple Watch through Vitality at a time?

No, only one Vitality member on each plan, aged 18 or over, can have an active Apple Watch benefit at any point in time. If you have a joint VitalityHealth or VitalityLife plan, only one Apple Watch is available. For all adult members of a joint plan to be eligible for Apple Watch, each member must also hold separate, sole eligible plans. 

You must buy your Apple Watch under your own Vitality membership number within Member Zone. You cannot gift it to someone else on your Vitality account and it can’t be transferred to anyone else on your Vitality account at any time. 

If you have already bought an Apple Watch through Vitality and the loan is paid off early, you’ll still need to wait until the last payment date of the original payment schedule until you are eligible again.

Will my Apple Watch automatically link to Vitality?

No, you’ll need to do that using the Vitality Member app for iOS. Once you’ve set up your Apple Watch, take a look at our guide to link Apple Health to Vitality.
