Incorrect data recorded

My apple watch series 6 is recording way too much exercise and stand data. Once a week the rings go around and around recording 600 plus minutes of exercise and the Stand minutes state 12 hours through the night. I have tried everything to fix - including deleting and reloading.

The first (and simplest) thing to try if something isn’t working right is to restart your Apple Watch and its paired iPhone. If necessary (device not responding), try a forced restart. Both methods can be found here:

If that doesn't help, the next steps would be to unpair and pair your watch again and restore from the backup just created. This should result in no loss of data. It deletes all temp and corrupted files and re-indexes the file system.
