Many Apple Watch Series 5 models unavailable ahead of expected Series 6 release

Apple appears to be paring down Apple Watch Series 5 supply through its online store ahead of an expected successor release this fall.

A large number of Apple Watch Series 5 configurations are currently listed as unavailable for delivery from Apple's online storefront, suggesting the company is preparing to unveil a new model in the coming days or weeks.

Other versions show delivery dates pushed back to the end of September.
