Apple Watch adding excess standing hours and exercise minutes

Wondering if anyone else has had their watch suddenly add standing hours and exercise minutes. I have now had 3 different events while weight training using Playbook App. Every time it happens I am on a minute rest and check a notification - Instagram message, email etc. Suddenly I get a congratulations that my exercise minutes are closed and and my standing hours are closed. The watch indicates I have excercised non stop since midnight. Calorie count is unchanged so of course it is way off. Wondering if anyone else experienced the issue or maybe it is a Playbook issue?

Not sure about Playbook, but 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.
