I strongly believe that the redesign is still coming, it was just delayed due to the reported production issues with its radical new design so they decided to backtrack and go with what we saw today instead of skipping over the watch this year.Nearly every rumored enhancement to the Apple Watch has turned out to be false.
No flat edge case.
No longer battery life.
No lower profile digital crown.
Pretty much a nothing burger. I might still end up having to get one since the battery life on my Series 4 has gotten pretty bad.
