How exactly does the stand activity work

It follows the clock,you can 1 credit at 5 minutes to the hour and 1 credit at 5 minutes past the hour,it doesn't matter at what part of the hour you move around,it only matters that you DO.If you have stand reminder turned on it will alert you at 50 minutes past each hour if you haven't moved for that hour,this gives you 10 minutes in which to get up and move around for a minute.

Thanks sir

All that the Apple Watch knows is that your Apple Watch has accelerated, decelerated, accelerated, decelerated, for about a minute. That is to say the typical arm swing when you are walking. If you do not swing your arm while walking it will not detect acceleration/deceleration. Constant velocity does not count.

You can lie flat on your back, and wave your arm around and get credit for standing.

My preferred way to get stand credit, is to juggle 3 bean bags. I'm getting very good at it. I am at least standing, but I'm not walking, I'm moving my left arm in a circular pattern tossing and catching bean bags.

As fieryjack has said, you have to do the standing (or simulated standing) between the top of hour (:00) and the end of the hour (:59)

The stand activity is to make sure that that you move around for at least one minute every hour for 12 hours in the day.

The Stand ring shows hours in which you've stood and moved for at least a minute. Complete your daily Stand goal by standing up and moving around for at least 1 minute during 12 different hours in the day to close your stand ring. Even if you stand all day, you still need to move around.

Your welcome.
