To each their own, that's the best looking face I have seen on an Apple Watch so far.
I love how everyone who doesn’t like the face says so in such a matter-of-fact and dismissive way. As if EVERYONE must feel the way they do, and if you don’t you just have no taste. I think it’s great. And if you don’t, then use one of the many other faces.
That would be so tragic. Why would anyone want to have Siri on all the time, all it can do is say “sorry, i can’t do that”
Yet google now can!
Yawn, the picture tells nothing new from rumors. We need more health monitoring functions! Apple Tricorder style. 
The extra hole is the sim card eject hole, the new haptic side button now doubles as a sim card tray. LOL unlikely

Just this past Monday I dived into a lake and my watch came off and I lost it. So miffed about it, but this cheered me up a little! Except for the fact I can't afford to replace mine right now... Oh well!
Apple is suffering from a major leak that has allowed 9to5Mac to discover images of the upcoming "iPhone XS" models and the Apple Watch Series 4, giving us an idea of what to expect when the new devices are announced on September 12.
As can be seen in the photo below, the new Apple Watch models feature smaller bezels for more visible screen space, which allows for new complications arranged in a round configuration, which could be a nod to the media invites that went out earlier today.
Rumors have suggested the displays of the new Apple Watch models are 15 percent larger, which appears to be in line with the video.
Apple is clearly planning to introduce at least one new watch face, which appears to be able to support a total of eight complications. Four complications are included on the watch face itself, underneath the hands, while another four are located at the edges of the display.
Interestingly, the Apple Watch in the image features a shiny gold enclosure, which appears to be shinier than previous aluminum models, perhaps suggesting a stainless steel option with a gold finish. It could also be shiner in the Apple marketing materials, though.
There's a new hole below the Digital Crown, which is perhaps another microphone, and the Digital Crown has a red outline rather than a full red dot.
Apple will unveil the Apple Watch Series 4 models alongside new 2018 iPhones on September 12, at a 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time event that's set to be held at the Steve Jobs Theater on the Apple Park campus. Apple will live stream the event, but for those who cannot watch, MacRumors will be featuring live coverage both on the site and on our MacRumorsLive Twitter account.

I will trade my iPhone X in for the larger version but I will be keeping my LTE watch. The few things I do with the watch won't be enhanced by a new version.

The extra hole could be for more external sensors to access the atmosphere - like a barometer and thermometer and microphone and speaker - that kind of thing.
Multiple microphones probably helps by triangulating on the right voice to recognize for Siri etc, and for noise cancellation and speech-passband filtering? Who knows - I'm just guessing here

Or the new Apple Campus - it's a circle also.
Please - have some compassion with design guru J. Ive who had an incredibly busy year shaving off 4% bezel space.Pretty bored of these incremental updates to the look. iMac, MacBook Pros, iPhones, iPads, and especially Apple Watch have remained largely unchanged for years. With the exception of the new screen on the iPhone X, nothing about the devices makes me have that old "gotta have the new one" feeling any more.
As only Apple could do, the rest of the bunch already had it

They moved the mic to the correct side now that they have put in a haptic button and have space. Always bugged me that the mic was on the wrong side, when you raise your watch to your face the crown side is closer to your mouth.
The text for the calendar event should be at the bottom, not covering up where the minute hand is. Speaking of minutes, where are the damn minute markers?!
But you got Toy Story faces! What more could an adult want?!

Agreed on the faces, it is about time for a 3rd party curated store where people are invited to make one, rather than submit millions of dreck that Apple have to sift through.
Oh, dear... What shape you usually have? Mickey Mouse shape? Smarties shape? Amphibious landing-craft shape? Poke-in-the-eye shape?
The angle is deceiving, here is a diagram of the 38mm. It’s plain to see the bezels are quite large (note the “display active area”.)
If you look at the leaked photo near the 9 o’clock and 3 o’clock areas (and the corners as well) it looks like the image comes much closer to the edge of the watch face than the current screen could allow.
Additionally, there is a leak that did not address rounded corners, but which pegged the screen size at 1.57” (39.9mm). If you believe that rumor, a little math says the screen dimensions would be about 30.73mm (H) x 25.45mm (W) with approx a 2mm bezel inside the 34.78 x 29.49 watch face.
If you draw a regular rectangle of that height and width within the watch face, the four sides would have the 2mm bezel but at the rounded corners of the watch face, the 90° corners of that rectangle would violate the minimum bezel width around the watch face. (See the red rectangle in the drawing.) So the corners must be rounded—again, if you believe the rumor of a 1.57” screen size.
If there is now more room, then maybe it could be added to the modular display - you know the display that shows lots of information, except the accurate time.
Why? I like it. And more importantly, I’m buying it
People are whining about that face having too many complications... Guess what: don't use it. Nobody's forcing you to. I switch between 3 different faces because I use complications so extensively, this face is a godsend.

I agree. It looks a cluttered mess.
I will end up getting a S4 but I will not be using that face thats for certain.
Cars watch faces

The UV would be detected where you are rather than a place miles away.
I was going to buy a Huawei tracker for about £13 from CEX that had a UV sensor but the app sucked, so I didn't bother.
