Apple watch stand up notification even though i am standing

Hi Guys,


In my office i have standing desk. Most of the time i stand to do my work. I am noticing from few days that my apple watch notification asking me to stand, even though i am standing from last one hour. Is this the same issue with you guys. I am feeling that it could be bug. It is annoying, when you are standing and the notification ask you to stand.


Thanks

Kinda related to your post.....


So does it not register if you don't stand up right when it tells you to? I got the reminder about 20 minutes ago, but I was right in the middle of doing something with work that I couldn't stop doing at that moment. But, as soon as I finished and was able to stand up and walk around (about 10 minutes later, but after the notification was gone), I didn't get credit for standing up.

I'm sorry, Apple, but sometimes we're doing something that we can't stop when you say "jump!" Sometimes we're working or in the car or doing something, but we'll do our "hourly stand" as soon as we're able to.


I feel cheated that I didn't get credit for standing and walking around when I actually did. Yeah, I know my body still got the credit, and I did some good for my health, but I'm trying to get that dang ring to show it.


The OP of this thread is standing all the time and isn't getting credit for it. I understand the reasoning behind that one in that the Watch doesn't see that he/she is already standing. But, still......WE WANT OUR RINGS! 😀

Hi


The hourly Stand credit is awarded when you stand up and also move around for at least one minute during that hour.


Apple Watch uses an accelerometer to identify movement, so a minute's walk around with your arms swinging naturally should achieve this.


Repeat this within each of 12 separate hours throughout the day to achieve the daily Stand goal (completing the blue Stand ring in the Activity app).

If you have not yet earned Stand credit within any given hour, a Stand reminder notification will be delivered at xx.50, leaving ten minutes within which to earn credit for that hour.


Credit can be earned at any time within those ten minutes - as it also can within any given hour of the day.
