Apple Watch Fitness does not understand Time?

I use the Apple Fitness with the 3 metrics: Move, Exercise, Stand. I understand that these reflect my activity at the time I look at the watch. But I was then astounded at the following display:


which I got by taking a screenshot of my watch. You can see the time if 5:17, so between 5 and 6, and the Stand bar (at the bottom in blue) shows I have stood during the 5 to 6 hour.


But the Move (red at top) and Exercise (Green in middle) show half-hour marks, not hour marks. And there is a thin vertical line just before "6" (and also for 6 am and 12pm) to show where 6 is. And both Move and Exercise show that I have activity after 6, even tho it is only 5:17. At 5:17, there should not yet be results for 5:30 or 6:00.


Normally I never paid that much attention to the Move and Exercise times, but seeing it as well before 6 but seeing a result after 6 caught my attention.


Does this make any sense?


Apple Watch Series 7, watchOS 8

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.

As a last resort, follow the above procedure for unpairing and pairing the watch, but do not restore the backup. Set the watch up as new instead. There should be no loss of Fitness data or Awards since those are stored on the paired iPhone, not the watch.
