Market Rules
The outcome is No
If Apple is banned from importing/selling the Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 on Jan 31, 2024, then the market resolves to Yes. Outcome verified from Apple.
The market is not on whether a ban begins on the target date, but on whether it is effective on the target date. Currently (as of January 9, 2024) there is no effective ban because of a court-imposed halt on a ban. If the Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 are permitted to be imported/sold on the target date of this market, this market will resolve to "no."

About
On December 27th, 2023, Apple was forced to pull the Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 from its shelves due to an ongoing patent dispute with the medical device maker Masimo involving a blood-oxygen sensor. The ban was temporarily lifted the next day, giving Apple a brief window to alter its watches and come into compliance, but a ruling on the matter is expected on January 12th.
