Do you think there will be a refresh of Apple Watch straps, before the next Apple Watch?

historically we had "spring" and "fall" colors and we had "spring" this year, so no.
But, they might release bands for the Olympics, they did so in 2016 and I think there were some for the 2021 one, so we'll have to see about that.

Not buying more until they bring back the magnetic leather straps. Deleting leather, by Apple, was a big mistake! FineWoven is crap!
My wife had the California Poppy (kind of tan) leather strap and the color wore off terribly. I don't think the leather were the best watch strap by Apple.

‘They are my choice for years now. I never had the poppy and always bought the black and some still look like new when over w years old.

The Apple leather case on my iPhone 14 Pro is not wearing nearly as nicely as the one on my iPhone 11 Pro did. The color is more on the leather than in it. I suspect Apple moved to a more eco friendly tanning process before deciding to eliminate leather entirely. Or maybe just moved to using a lower grade of leather to boost profits. That said, if I wanted a leather phone case (I do) or a leather watch strap, I’d sooner buy a third party alternative than a synthetic replacement like Finewoven.
If the connectors remain the same on Apple Watch X, we should see a fall offering of bands.
