Is it just me or is the screen not vertically centered on this device? Also the wake up button is on the left instead of the right, probably gets woken up a lot by hitting the sleeve of a coat or buttoned shirt...

These might be nitpicks but just because it's open source doesn't excuse it from poor design critique.

Tech wise looks really good for the price.

It's a 3D render. The actual display seems to be more or less centered[0].

One could presumably flip the device and the rotate the screen rendering by 180 degrees. This is how Apple Watch handles right wrist use.

I'm watching this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tuk9Nmr3Jo8 and I see the same thing, the bottom is about twice the size as the top.

Good call on the screen rotation, is this something any of the OSes support or needs to be requested to be added in?
