Why doesn’t my Watch 7 recognise when I’ve been standing for more than a minute

Why doesn’t my Watch 7 always recognise when I’ve been standing for more than a minute. Many times I have gone upstairs and then washed my hands for 20 secs and then come back downstairs - and still my Watch thinks I haven’t been standing!

Am I doing something wrong?

Many thanks for the prompt reply. I will try that but as I said previously I don’t just stand still, I can go up and down the stairs and wash my hands which needs a lot of hand shaking to get the “hand washing” to acknowledge I’ve completed at least 20 sec …and still my watch doesn’t recognise that I have been standing for over a minute. Many thanks again for the suggestion
