Just wondering if anyone else experiences this and what I can do to fix this.

Examples:

- Control Center appears relatively centered in my space, but when opening Notification Center from in there, that appears higher up and I have to look up to view it. Sometimes the home view also appears too high up.

- Holding the Digital Crown to recenter all windows makes them not appear vertically centered in my view but the bottom edge of the window basically starts at my horizon line, making them appear too high up.

- When redoing the eye setup the circle of dots is not centered in my view either. There's a lot of space at the bottom, while the top most dot is almost outside of my view.

- Doing a screen recording, the recording "sees" everything correctly as if everything was vertically centered. There is looks like I'm looking way too high, which is not the reality I saw when using it. Part of the bottom is cut off in the video recording.

This is an example of how the eye setup dots are looking for me. There's a lot of empty space at the bottom and it starts very high up in my field of view.

I've noticed as well that the "default" position of stuff tends to be much higher up than I naturally feel like I should be looking--kind of like it expects me to be one of those people who mounts their TV up by the ceiling instead of at eye-level like it should be.

I had been assuming it was because I was using it on the couch mostly, and the windows were appearing at roughly chest-height when I stand up, but maybe not.

That said, you can just grab the window and drag it down to whatever height you want, so I take this as more of a slight nuisance in default settings than any kind of a real problem (and I like that if you put a window near the floor, it casts a shadow).
