CIQ Watch faces with gestures not working?

has anyone noticed this?

i know gestures work on my watch because if i set the backlight to operate on gestures, it works fine.

but today i was playing with a couple watch faces taht show more info when the wrist moves/gestures and nothing happens. i have tried this countless times on a couple of different faces (eg, Clear and Powerful) and nothing happens.

anyone else have this behavior (or lack of)?
