Anyone else noticed the Explorer face on S4 doesn't look like it's been rendered for the new screen?
When you navigate to the watch application on your phone, the red hands look really neat. On the watch itself, the hands look "notchy" like razor blades shape (as if the render hadn't been done for the new resolution).

Am I crazy here?

I think it’s just the pixel density of the phone vs the watch.

Unless the hand is horizontal or vertical it’ll have some diagonal element to the hand which is hard to do.

Yes, I think you are crazy... Your pic is of a Series 3 not a Series 4!

This is the explorer face on a S4:
