Apple Watch Program
Earn the latest Apple Watch for as little as $25 plus tax with regular exercise when you purchase life insurance from John Hancock.
Here's how the program works:
1 Register
Register for your Vitality member account and complete the Vitality Health Review (VHR).
2 Order your Apple Watch
Order your Apple Watch for an initial payment of $25 plus tax.
3 Earn Vitality Points
Walk, run, bike, swim or any number of exercises that qualify as Standard or Advanced workouts in the program and earn Vitality Points that go toward your monthly watch payments.
Monthly payments are based on the number of Vitality Points you earn each month from qualifying activities over a 24-month period.
Earn 500 Vitality Points from Standard or Advanced workouts each month over two years and you’ll make no additional payments.

Apple Watch program is not available in New York or Puerto Rico. Apple Watches ordered through John Hancock Vitality may not be shipped to addresses in Guam. Once you become a Vitality PLUS member and complete the Vitality Health Review (VHR), you can order Apple Watch by electronically signing, at checkout, a Retail Installment Agreement with the Vitality Group, for the retail price of the watch. After an initial payment of $25 plus tax, over the next two years, monthly out-of-pocket payments are based on the number of Standard Workouts (10,000 to 14,999 steps) and Advanced Workouts (15,000 steps) or the applicable Active Calorie or heart rate thresholds. The step counts required for Standard and Advanced Workouts are reduced for members beginning at age 71+. One-time upgrade fees plus taxes apply if you choose (GPS + Cellular) versions of Apple Watch, larger watch case sizes, and certain bands and case materials.
