The adapter/charging brick won’t be included, but the actually charging cable should still be there.
That's even better

I understand Apple is trying to reduce their carbon footprint, but the assumption that customers have a dedicated adapter is a mighty big assumption. How do y’all feel about this being removed?
I’m pretty sure the cable will be in the box. My post was in reference to the adapter/charging brick.
Ah then I may have completely misinterpreted things.
My bad. Apologies, all.

The magnetic charging cable is included. It’s the USB adapter that is not.

it was a turd of a charger anyhow, no big loss...

Surely if anyone’s going to buy a new Apple Watch, then they’ll already have an iPhone and a usb charger, indeed who hasn’t already got several usb chargers, be it Apple or other manufacturer.
Just use one you’ve already got with the charge cable that comes with the watch.
It's about time. I've thrown away the last few I've received from phones and watches, and I always buy better ones anyway.
That’s a heavy assumption!! Not everyone has the luxury to have many just laying around the house. Also, Apple introduced Family Setup. If someone purchases an Apple Watch for someone they’re taking care of, that does not have an iPhone, they’ll need to purchase a charging brick. The brick not being included isn’t huge for me, but I know I’m not the majority here.
Why not donate them to shelters or something, instead of tossing them? Someone less fortunate could probably use them.
If they were going to eliminate the charging brick, I wish that they would have changed the cable from USB-A to USB-C so I could plug it into mhy Mackbook Air to charge...
