Manually log standing hours on watch

I feel quite confused on the activity app quality as it’s not possible for users to manually add the stand hours which are not correctly detected by the watch. The software user interaction design is horrible and quite behind apple’s SW quality. Even macOS’s finder is a little bit better than this one.

your watch sensor is far from perfect
you need to allow user to manually fix it to ensure users can track their own data in their own way.
I understand manual log may disrupt your data consistency or causing issues in other related activity trend analysis BUT I don’t care, not everyone is interested in Apple Watch’s trend. I care my own trend in my own way.
I’m using the watch not because your product is good but others are bad. Just cannot find any alternative atm.

Open the Health App.

At the bottom, click on "Browse."

Tap on "Activity"

Tap on "Workouts"

At the top right tap on "Add Data."

To add a Stand Minute,select "Other" as the Activity Type.

Now in the minutes below, make the time difference between start and finish just one minute,make sure you haven't changed the date.

Once done, click "Add"

That minute of workout will now count as a Stand Minute in the blue ring.

hi fieryjack,

thanks for the reply. Your post is the way I used to add the missing data. But in this case today I didn’t see the “workout” section there and I’m not sure that’s an updated feature or it’s simply because I have not done any workout yet. I.e. it seems the user has to do some workouts before they can actually log any data. What a great pipeline.
