If you are looking for a specific and accurate answer, no one has it. But if you want an estimate, highly likely in September 2018 during the iPhone Keynote for an announcement.
Roughly, 149 days, 6 hours and 10 minutes. Not that I am interested.
...so I guess there really is no point in upgrading my Series 0, 42mm Space Grey Apple Watch to a S3 until September to see if they announce a new watch?
The big question is what is the new "redesigned" watch going to be like. This will be the first time Apple has done this.
Announcement Tuesday 11th September, Pre-order Friday 14th and release 21st September
Some say yes, based on rumors from last year. Others say it will be at least till next year due to new screen technology. Frankly I think Apple Watch is a prime candidate to be left alone (this year), design wise other than taking into people's requests.. needs to be thinner and an option for a larger display. Which they can easily do both by making the screen bezel-less. Then release the new screen display next year or the year after with a full new watch design. Guess we shall see what happens. Apple Watch is the only device I get excited about because application design for me is super easy and has a larger revenue base for what I do.
Series 5 will probably just expand the cellular partners around the world, while having a faster SoC as well.
For series 6, Apple probably is ready to roll out microLED for an edge to edge screen AW.
I doubt there will be a significant redesign except for less bezel/slightly thinner body.

I found a leaked image of an apple engineer working on the AW prototype. Looks like a redesign to me.
Unless the OP is Tim and he’s just trolling us (again).

There Really is no “If” at this point, there will be a redesign and in all likeliness, the question is how drastic will the redesign be? That’s yet to be determined, Apple is Rather conservative with hardware changes. The overall design choice will likely remain, But it’s been rumored (By Ming Kuo) that a 15% larger display, larger battery and additional health sensors, which can mean that there will be some casing tweaks. And if anyone else is wondering, there will not be a round Apple Watch.

My guess is September based on the last few years of release, i'm looking forward to upgrading from my current Series 0 to a Series 4. I just hope they continue to do the Ceramic models has i wouldn't mind trying one of those or the black stainless steel.
Would love to be able to pull off a ceramic watch next time (they're omg beautiful), but alas. Almost certainly too expensive. Black stainless steel would probably be my 2nd choice today - I've had aluminium now for three years (in a little over three months) and it's been nice (alu watch is very low weight so no bother to wear at all), but the solid feel of steel could be really nice too I'm thinking.
I've decided to upgrade from my S3 to an S4 unless they change the band attachment, in which case I'll get a discounted S3. Too much invested in my bands to leave them behind. For now at least.
One day after said announcement is a major watch band sell-off in macrumors marketplace along with Apple’s very on 20% discount since those bands will not be compatible.
