Q: Stand ring not increasing correctly

Today is my first day using Apple Watch, and two times it reminded me to stand up.  So I did.  I walked around for at least 3 minutes. Yet both those hours show up as dark in the stand graph, and I did not get "credit" for them.

 

Then there was another hour when I was standing/walking for the first half hour.  Then I was in the car, then I was sitting on the couch.  I did not get credit for that hour either.  I thought you only had to stand for one minute out of sixty?!  Or is it one SPECIFIC minute?  It seems to remind me at X:50.  Does it not matter if I was standing from X:01-X:49, if I was not standing for X:50??

 

Is there a sensitivity/calibration issue?  How does it now if I'm standing?  If I just stand up but don't move, will it know? Or do I need to walk around?

 

Last question: my stand graph shows blue bars for each hour.  A bright bar if I stood up.  But then there are TWO other colors.  One is solid black.  One is a very faint blue.  Like a shadow.  I thought there was just bright and dark- but now there's this third color. What does that mean?  This seems to imply that I sat still from 1-3 and then 7-9, but that's not true. And why is 7-8 different?
