How do I replace a lost Apple Watch with insurance through Apple?

Well, it looks like this time the watch is lost for good. My 8 yr old daughter seems to have misplaced watch again. It is linked to Find My and I activated Lost Mode a few weeks ago. I have insurance on the watch through Apple. Do I go to an Apple Store to get watch replaced or do I go to the phone carrier? Not sure what to do

Apple only offers AppleCare+ with Lost or Stolen Device Protection for iPhones, not other products. So you couldn't have purchased insurance from them. If you purchased insurance from a third-party such as your carrier, you need to contact them and file a claim. Otherwise you'll need to purchase a new Watch, sorry.
