As a consumer I expect a watch to last 5-10 years. As a developer working in the consumer space you need to get out of the mindset that everyone is replacing everything every 2-3 years. The Apple Watch is only a watch incidentally, all indications seem to be that it's mostly a fitness tracker with a bit of notification monitoring thrown in. Yes, it does happen to tell time as well. I expect there to significant enhancements to the fitness/health tracking capabilities in the next 2-3 years (and then the 2-3 after that as well), some of us are fine with upgrading a fitness tracker every few years.
