Does this even count as a Macro shot just because I used a 100mm macro lens?

Good one - looks like a macro to me. :)

As a rough guide I reckon a macro shot should not show more than 5cms of subject at the focus point. That equates to 0.5:1 on a 1.6 crop camera.

Nice watch! :) Looks like a macro to me; and a nicely done one, too.
