Apple Watch activities measurement

I find the “stand” duration measurement inaccurate. It seems to give inflated durations. For eg I wake up at 5.30 AM and return home by 6 PM. It is already showing 11 hours of standing which is obviously wrong as I sit for a significant part of the day. Any suggestions?

I think you misunderstand how the stand ring operates,here is the official interpretation of the stand ring requirements;


This is a quote from Apple Support website;

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. Even if you stand all day, you still need to move around.


The minute that you stand and move around can be anytime from 1 minute after the hour until 1 minute before the next hour.

If you have stand reminders turned on then if you haven't stood yet in the current hour then the watch will remind you to stand at 50 minutes past the hour,this gives you 10 minutes in which to stand and move around before the next hour starts.
