As per reports this week, Apple is set to stop selling the Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 as early as this week due to an ITC ruling. However, you still have time to pick them up and some retailers will stock and sell the rest of the supply even after the ban.

It’s important to note that this ban is not due to poor quality or dangerous design, it is because of a trademark dispute to do with the Blood Oxygen feature. If you buy the watch, you are getting an excellent and capable device.

If you are looking for a deal on the best Apple Watch out there and want one before they stop selling, here are the best ways to pick them up.

A big change

Both the Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 are beloved watches with incredibly good features and are well worth picking up, especially if you can get a nice deal on them now that Apple will no longer stock them.
