The "Please stand and move around a little" seems to be finicky. Lots of times it sees my normal standing and moving around. When it does prompt me, sometimes I'll stand and move around a little, and it will acknowledge that, but other times doing seemingly the exact same stand-and-move fails to be accepted. Has anyone figured out a reliable way for this to work?
Apple Watch, watchOS 2.1
Hi Doug
The hourly Stand goal is achieved when you stand up and 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 help to register this.

I understand the feature. What I'm saying is that standing up and moving a little does NOT always work, and I haven't yet figured out a really reliable way to get it to work. If anyone has a guaranteed "stand and move" strategy it would be useful. (On my support call yesterday, I was told that his daughter finds that putting her arm over her head works!)

If you are unable to achieve consistent results by doing this, consider calibrating your watch.
Calibration can improve the accuracy of various estimations made by the Activity app (by teaching your watch how arm motion relates to your movements at different speeds).

Increasingly, I'm seeing that JUST standing often seems to work better than standing AND moving around a little, as instructed. Sometimes not, and sometimes nothing I do seems to be successful. Oh, well, it can't really see what I'm doing, I guess! 😕
Your Apple Watch might not be on tight enough
"Please stand and move around a little" often doesn't see me
