My apple watch "stand" activity doesn't usually credit my walking unless I'm flailing my arm wildly, or doing intense walking. Simply walking from room to room while doing housework never triggers the stand feature. I get the "time to stand" when I'm already walking about working at chores, etc. What I'm I doing wrong? My watch iOS is up to date, as is my iPhone 12 mini.
Apple Watch Series 4, watchOS 7
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.
An idle hour is an hour in which your watch was being worn, but did not recognise movement that indicated that you stood up and moved around for at least one minute during that hour.

HI RCountrykid,
Thanks for contacting the Apple Support Communities!
We understand that you're not getting the credit for standing. Check out the steps you can take outlined here for help to get the most accurate measurements from your Apple Watch: Get the most accurate measurements using your Apple Watch
We hope this helps.
Cheers!
Stand is one full minute of movement.
It takes if from your arm. So if you are puttering around not moving your arm it will not count.
Try unpairing and re-pairing again,you might have to setup as new.
My "stand" activity isn't functioning properly
