Apple Stops Online Sales of Watches; Older Models Can’t Be Fixed::Apple Inc. has stopped selling the Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 in the US on its online store, just days before a ban related to a patent dispute takes effect.
and THAT is why smartwatches are stupid.
that and the fact i have to recharge it all the damn time.
Remember when they sell the 14 karats Apple watch for $10k? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
What does this have to do with the Apple Watch being banned from being sold?
because a 10k watch can’t be fixed anymore.

That already happened earlier this year and is unrelated.
then by all means forbid it to be sold.
an unsupported product should not be sold.

Apple classifies a product as technologically obsolete once more than seven years have passed since the company stopped distributing it for sale. The original Apple Watch was discontinued in September 2016 … so the first-generation models recently crossed that seven-year mark.
These devices haven’t been sold in 7 years.
7 years is nothing for a watch (or a 10k watch for that matter), but lets gloss over this fact.
Yes, gold is expensive, more at 11.
