I would personally say it is very unlikely for the same reasons that there havent been any new products released unter the beats branding. Right now, people are still very new to the product and the people buying them are first time buyers and there are a lot of them left. Apple is also incentivized to delay iterations to the watch as long as possible because as more time goes on, more sales are made, component costs shrink, supply chain efficiency improves, and their overall profit margin widens. No competitor is even close to threatening the apple watch either.
In a way, having the product delayed as long as possible may be a good thing for current watch owners as well. That means the watch 2 can spend more time in r&d and apple can figure out ways of delivering some really awesome imporvements at the same msrp. Doing that will convince owners to upgrade.
I think we'll see another one in march or june of next year at wwdc, maybe even as late as fall. Just from watching apple and Tim Cook as a ceo and how the company operates under him, I would say tHere is about a 10% or less chance of an update this year.
