The hourly Stand goal is achieved when you stand up and also move around for at least one minute during that hour.
Apple Watch uses an accelerometer to identify movement, so a minute's walk around with your arm (on which you are wearing your watch) swinging naturally should help to achieve this.
Repeat this within each of 12 separate hours throughout the day to achieve the daily Stand goal.
Calibrating your watch can improve the accuracy of various estimations made by both the Activity app and the Workout app. Calibration helps the watch to learn how your arm moves when you are walking and/or running at different speeds. Instructions for calibrating your watch are available via the link below.

Feb 18, 2016 4:00 PM in response to Jannieocby Jonathan UK,If the Activity app has been set up and you are getting Stand reminders, but your watch is not registering any stand activity at all, these steps may help:
- On your iPhone in the Watch app, go to: My Watch > General > Wrist Detection - check that this is turned on.
- On your iPhone, in the Watch app, go to: My Watch > Privacy > Motion & Fitness - turn Fitness Tracking off (or turn it on, if it is already turned off).
- Restart both devices by turning both off together, then restarting your iPhone first:
- To turn your iPhone off: press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears; drag it to turn off. To restart, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button.
- To turn your watch off: press and hold the side button until you see the Power Off slider; drag it to turn off. To turn it back on: press and hold the side button until you see the Apple logo.
- If you turned Fitness Tracking off in step 2, now return to the setting and re-enable it.

Feb 18, 2016 4:02 PM in response to Jonathan UKby Jannieoc,As mentiond I was running around in a cafe, serving customers, making food and coffee. It should have tracked the time accurately with all that movement. The calibration for Exercise works fine and the tracking of my runes are as they should after I brought my phone. It is only standing it is not measuring correctly.
