My watch seems very inconsistent with recognising stand time. It has so far registered 4 hours of stand time this morning, which is accurate, but since midday it has registered nothing. This is despite the move section recognising steps. During the last hour, I re-started the watch, walked approx 100 steps around the flat for more than a minute, but it still has registered nothing.
Any ideas?
Watch Standard 38mm
I had the same issue, it would not recgnise my stand time, I realised that when you sit down your arms are usually raised, for example at a stand desk your arms are at right angles typing...I have tried this approach while sitting down and it works as well...put your wrist down next to your hip with your arm fully extended so your hand is pointing towards the ground (like your standing at attention), you don't need to move around in fact I found moving around was less helpful to recognising the stand point, particularly if you raised your arms at all during the minute, the apple watch recognises standing based on how a normal person would stand up, and that is with your arms at your sides
Well, here's the thing... I was sitting in the loo at 11.45 pm with only 1 more hour needed to complete my stand goal and therefore complete all 3 circles.. I had tried standing, walking and even running up and down the stairs earlier before I gave in and thought to check on here.... Long story short - while reading the rest of this thread I let my arm hang at my side and then swung it forward and back for a minute.. Lo and behold, I was rewarded with that sweet musical notification that indicated that my stand goal had been reached! Result!
Recived watch 6/25 Stand time working just fine as a desk worker

8/13 Apple store in Chicago cant help..
Help?
I just happened across something today that let me get stand credit, without standing. I was on a road trip and my warning went off. I didn't worry about it since I knew I wasn't going to be stopping anytime soon. A few minutes later I dropped my hand down to my thigh and wiped it forward and backward to dry it. I was surprised to get the ding and message that I got my stand credit. 😕 Later in the drive when I got another stand warning I intentionally rubbed my hand against my hand on my thigh and got credit again! 🙂
Now I can't recommend this as a way to cheat the system 😉 but if your watch isn't giving you credit that you should get you might want to give it a try.
OMG! I've been going INSANE over the entire "Stand" issue and I don't want to do any of the "cheats" (like, rubbing the back of your calf up and down while seated on a plane ...). But I tried walking around the house for a minute with nothing in my hands, left arm by my side, and I got a "stand" credit.
Normally when the "alarm" goes of I get up and move all the dirty dishes in my office to the kitchen, get a drink, do some cleaning up, but mostly, my left arm (I'm a lefty ...) is horizontal to the ground. It's like the Watch detects that your arm is vertical and ... BAM! credit!
You need to put out your best DANCE moves to get it to register. I found Salsa, or even some long forgotten Chubby Checker Twist action will do the trick!
Aryht, this is exactly what I have noticed after monitoring things for the last week. All 3 points are the same for me.
Make sure you go into the activity setting on the iPhone watch app and toggle on the stand reminders, progress updates, and goal completions.
Yup....they are all on and have been. It just seems like the blue stand ring is stuck. I have met or exceeded the other goals today.
I have suspected that kind of behavior, but was not able to reproduce it yet. I will give it a serious try the next couple of days.
The update 1.01 is now out and it says it has bug fixes including improvements to the Stand app. I have just downloaded it and it will be interesting to see whether it makes a difference.
Thanks...
This corrected my issue
One solution I found was you go to workout in the Apple Watch app and make sure it says the metric is turned on, I did this and it gave me a stand notification Right away.
My Apple Watch does not count any standing hours what so ever, while I find weird, it is pretty accurate with calorie and exercise counting, but no matter what, it shows 0% on standing
Watch not recognising stand time
