Apple said customers have until 3 p.m. EST on Thursday if theyre looking to buy one of the impacted models online, and Apple retail locations will stop selling both models after Christmas Eve. As of right now, theres no timetable on how long the Apple Watch Series 9 and the Apple Watch Ultra 2 will be unavailable for purchase in the United States.

"While the review period will not end until Dec. 25, Apple is preemptively taking steps to comply should the ruling stand," the company said in a statement.It added: "Apple strongly disagrees with the order and is pursuing a range of legal and technical options to ensure that Apple Watch is available to customers."Can I still buy the Apple Watch Series 9 at places like Amazon and Walmart?According to CNET, the order affects sales of the Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 through Apple specifically, meaning you can still buy both products at retailers like Amazon and Walmart after Christmas Day. However, because Apple won't be able to import the watches, that means those watches still in stock at retailers are only in stock for a limited time. If youre looking to get either version, its best to buy them now as opposed to later as once the supply finishes at retailers, you wont be able to get the Apple Watch Series 9 or Apple Watch Ultra 2 until the pause has been lifted. Can I still buy other Apple Watch models during the pause?Yes you can. The Apple Watch Series 9 and the Apple Watch Ultra 2 are the only versions that have the Blood Oxygen feature that is impacting their availability to the market. Models like the Apple Watch SE and even the first version of the Apple Watch Ultra will still be available for purchase at Apple retail stores and other online retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, Target and Walmart.
