UPDATE 1-US court bars Apple Watch imports during appeal over ban

Apple Watches capable of reading blood-oxygen levels cannot be imported into the U.S. while Apple challenges a government decision that the devices infringe patents, a federal appeals court ruled on Wednesday. The patents in question belong to medical technology company Masimo. The ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit means the affected watches cannot be imported while Apple appeals the U.S. International Trade Commission's ban.
