Apple Watch doesn’t detect standing I’ve done everything suggested on previous forums. My watch doesn’t detect me standing. I can only get it to detect if I run around and wave my arms around like a crazy person for 10+ minutes. This used to work easily but now it does not. I have updated my iPhone 13 and Apple Watch Series 5 to the latest OSs, checked wrist detection, turned off and on fitness tracking, ensured wheelchair was set to off etc. I can use it for regular fitness tracking but super frustrating not being able to track standing or close my rings.

Apple Watch Series 8 - standing minutes not recognized My Apple Watch (Series 8) doesn’t pick up my standing minutes. I can literally be standing (up and moving) for 50 minutes of an hour and STILL get the notification that “you can make it”. Any thoughts?
