    The ban only affects Apple stores in the US. That means customers can still get their hands on a Watch Series 9 or Watch Ultra 2 at Best Buy, Target, and other retailers while supplies last. Apple will also continue selling the Watch SE, as it doesn’t come with a blood oxygen sensor.

    That seems a bit lax.

      The key phrase is “while supplies last”. They can’t import more, so third party resellers can only get rid of what they already have.
