I've been enjoying the new watchOS 6 faces, but something was bugging me about the Modular Compact face, and I finally figured out what it was. The face is massively off-centered, vertically:

See how there's a huge space below the bottom complication and the edge of the screen, yet no space at the top? Yeah. I reported it as a bug - maybe if more people did the same, they'd consider actually fixing it. ;)

Here's what it looks like in use:

Is it just me, or is that not terrible?

edit: ah, I think I just figured out why they did it like this. It's because of the rounded bezels at the bottom of the screen. All the other watch faces use circular complications in the corners, but this one uses the large, squared complication. So if they center the whole thing vertically, it'll actually cut off the corners of the complication (you can see, if you look closely, that the "e" in "Tue" is slightly cut off, in the bottom right) ... So, I guess this is another face I won't be using. :rolleyes:
