I've had the same impression. Could it be because of the symmetrically rounded edges that makes it look like it stands off your wrist, instead of an asymmetrical bevel to make it seem more like it "melts" into your wrist?
Plus, of course, that the screen winks on or off when it detects the "raise-to-wake" motion, so that 1) it's a much more deliberate gesture when you want to look at it and 2) it's a distraction in your peripheral vision when it's wrong.
