Stand goal 50% completed while sleeping following 3.1.1 update

I updated my series 2 watch without issue (though it did take a while) - had not read about the issues it's been causing - so guess I was lucky!


However, I have noticed it is saying I'm standing regularly overnight, even though I'm sleeping. I know I'm asleep as my whithings sleep sensor thing shows I am. It's doing it when I'm wearing it and when it's in charge.


Not sure what is going on. Anyone else noticing this?

Last night I turned off my scheduled do not disturb and I turn off night shift and I didn't use my sleep app. I received credit for standing for the 11pm, 12, and 1 o'clock hours even though I was asleep and it didn't prompt me get up. During the 2 o'clock hour I received a notification for something else and shortly after that it prompted me to stand. I dismissed the notification and turned on do not disturb ( I'm not willing to miss too much sleep). I received credit for standing for the remainder of the night. When I awoke at 6:30 I had 5 hours of standing for the day. I decided to try an experiment, so during the 7 o'clock hour I sat down and when it prompted me to stand I dismissed the notification and waited to see if I would get credit for standing and I didn't get credit. My do not disturb schedule is from 10pm - 7am. Even though I had turned it off it seemed to still pay attention to the schedule since it works differently during the scheduled time.


I think I'll try changing my schedule and see what happens.

So, we are in the second day of this discussion and it appears WE haven't solved it. I see you tried one suggestion and others tried other suggestions. I tried the re-calibration. Didn't work. Last night it recorded 5 hours of Stand Time. 1AM, 3AM, 4AM, 5Am, 6AM, 7AM. Should I say this is better than 8Hrs the night before? Maybe tomorrow it will be even less??? Who knows?

I doubt it is a trend of it getting better. Something seemingly random is causing some hours to be marked as stand hours.


And I don't think it is a calibration issue. If you look at your activity levels or sleep time (if you use bedtime), they would show some phantom activity for the hours that it marked as "stand hour" or would show you not sleeping if it was a problem with motion calibration. That is not the case though, both the activity tracking (red circle/bars) and sleep time (bedtime) show no problems or phantom activities at those hours. It is just the stand hours that appears wrong.

I don't use the Bedtime App and it seems from what you say here there is no difference using it or not. I know for sure I am sleeping because I take a sleeping pill every night at the same time, usually fall asleep within 1/2 hour, and wake up around the same time every morning. I may twist a little bit during the night, but generally I hardly move and get a great restful night's sleep.
So I guess Apple know that this is a Bug in the 3.1.1 update. How long is it going to take them to fix it?

I've had a couple of days being ill, leaving the Watch off overnight to avoid the miss-counting, and spending most of the daytime on the sofa. However, on both days I've met the 12 hour stand goal. The second day I kept having a look on the Watch and I noticed that often, in the bar chart type visual below the combined circle graph, an hour had a faded out blue line but had not counted it in the goal (I've not noticed this in the previous watchOS - but I was not looking either, so it may well have been doing it then too). However when the hour was almost up and I received the notification to get up and walk about... just looking at the Watch and reading the message counted and more often than not push me over its measurement, turning the line to full blue and count the hour as meeting the stand goal.


It's looking like a software issue with how it interprets the hardware used to measure the stand metric. I've not been well enough to see if my odd activity shortfall was a one off, or something else going wrong.


I guess we are all hoping Apple engineers actually look at these forums and realise there are other issues with the now pulled update (missed or ignored via beta testers), and will fix them in the replacement build of the pulled software.... oh and allow that new software to overrule the versions installed that worked and did not brick watches.

The faded blue bars are for idle hours (you can see them listed as such in the healthkit data if you look at it in your phone) and like you noticed they become full blue once you stand (or when the watch thinks you actually stood).


I also contacted apple support via chat and submitted an issue using their feedback too. So trying all the ways available to let them know that there is an issue.


I had found the stand reminders the most useful, having a desk job, so this feature is kind of important. And when the hours you sleep are counted as standing and you are done with the goal before noon, then the reminders stop.
