Inaccurate movement tracking on my Apple Watch

as soon as I received the reminder to stand I stood and moved around for the full ten minutes from the reminder to stand until the change to a new hour yet I did not get credit for standing for that hour. It happened twice today. Frustrating since I know I was moving more than one minute and yet did not get the credit for that hour.

Apple Watch indoor walk distance reporting fluctuates My Apple Watch was reporting a certain distance walked on an indoor walk. Suddenly after a couple of months, the distance walked dropped by about 30%--step count and time remained the same. Then just as suddenly about 3 weeks later, the distance went back up!!! I don't expect perfect accuracy, but do expect precision (the same answer day-to-day). What is going on and how can I fix it??

Move is not tracking on Apple Watch Exercise is tracking but not Move. It abruptly stopped a week ago. Does anyone know why it would do that?

My Apple Watch Series 9 is tracking incorrect standing hours Hi, just wear my apple watch series 9 and after 5 minutes it shows 1 hour standing. Also daily as i am working all time sitting front of a pc it shows too much hours that i am standing. I know that it recognised hand motion but i believe that it counts wrong. Sitting about 8 hours (of course i stand some times but i can estimate those about an hour in total) the watch shows about 6 hours standing. I wear the watch on left hand so is not a pc mouse movement and not typing a lot. Any idea? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Try and restart the apple watch to see if the issue persist
