By David Goldman, CNNNew York (CNN) — The clock is winding down on a last-minute, emergency action to keep the latest Apple Watch on store shelves. Apple has already taken the offending Watch models off its online store, and Apple Store locations are expected to open Tuesday without any of the latest top-of-the-line watches in stock. The cheaper Apple Watch SE, which was not part of the ruling, remains on sale, but the ban would affect the Apple Watch Series 6 and later, and all models of Apple Watch Ultra. Apple has routinely marketed its smartwatch as a life-saving device, which has helped launch the Apple Watch into the stratosphere, making it the most popular watch sold around the world. But Apple (AAPL) also pledged to “take all measures” to bring the Apple Watch back to US customers soon.
