It is probably because you are not moving enough. See the 'Stand' section in:

Use the Activity app on your Apple Watch - Apple Support


"The Stand ring shows hours in which you've stood and moved for at least a minute. Complete your daily Stand goal by standing up and moving around for at least 1 minute during 12 different hours in the day. Even if you stand all day, you still need to move around to earn credit for standing."


I would also add that I have found that the movement needs to be for a continuous minute.
