The phone lived up to their "S" tradition of being "Slight" improvements of the 6 models. The other non-Pro iPads were barely mentioned, so no great improvements there either. Not much in new A Watch stuff either.
The new Apple TV has some pretty good improvements including Siri control and a much better remote. But I rarely use my current Apple TV, so no big deal for me.

I think that the iPad Pro is targeted at a very specific audience. Certainly, it's a bit rich for my blood. Given how I use my iPads, my current ones are more than adequate for me.
I'll probably skip the iPhone 6S upgrade as well. I upgraded to the iPhone 6 plus last year after breaking my iPhone 5S, otherwise I would have waited for the 6S.
It sounds like the major Apple Watch upgrade is the operating system rather than the hardware.
I'm definitely looking forward to the Apple TV. It's priced low enough to be more or less an impulse buy for me and it's a pretty major upgrade from the current model. I'm not sure if you can upgrade the current model to use the new controller or not. I really like the ability to use Siri and the touch control, plus you can play games if that is your thing. If it matches the demo, it should have a lot of the same search capabilities as Tivo. "Hey Siri, show me the episode of Gunsmoke with Burt Reynolds" and then select from the list of episodes that come back. That's pretty cool.
