BMI270 Wrist Gestures Orientation

I am using the BMI270 for a smartwatch application.  I am going through the  Wrist Gestures example and the behavior does not make any sense.  I want to confirm the default orientation of the sensor.  If you look at my attached file "BMI270 Orientation", when looking at the chip from top down, The pin1 marker is in the upper left.  

 However, looking at the datasheet , there is this figure in the Wrist Gesture section.

 My question is:  Is this still top looking down, but rotataed 90 degrees from the first image...or is the chip mounted to the back side of the watch so the -z axis is coming out of the watch?  The problem is in this figure, I believe the +x, -x, +y, and -y are labeled, but are cut off so I cannot make them out. 

Any help is appreciated.

Hi Fishbone,

Please refer to the attached image, the red part is+X,+Y, and the upward facing part of the watch is+Z.
