Again, Apple can't change the laws of physics. It is not possible to have a watch with a large enough screen to be useful that isn't extremely large and cumbersome. And no one, not even Apple, can make people think that holding their wrist up to their head is a cool, acceptable thing to do in public.
Apple changed the form factor of the iPod Nano because the 1.5" screen was too small to be useful for much of anything and people who really cared about a small form factor could just get a Shuffle instead. I'm sort of surprised they even bothered with it in the first place, but they've shown in the past that they don't mind occasionally trying an oddball form factor only to go back to something that works (see: Morse Code Shuffle).
