Watch not recognising stand time

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?

Hi Littlegibbo,

I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your new Apple Watch. If you are having inconsistent stand time reports in Activity, you may want to double-check that the watch has been calibrated, as outlined in the following article (apologies if you have already done so):

Calibrating your Apple Watch for improved Workout and Activity accuracy - Apple Support

I Am finding that also. I know there are hours that I have moved for at least one minute and they do not get recorded as stand time. Even when I get the reminder to move for one minute and I do, it doesn't always show. I have calibrated the watch with my iPhone as was suggested but still having this issue.

I am having the same issue. I got my watch yesterday. Even though I hadn't read the article about calibration until this morning, one of the first things I did yesterday was to take it on a 40 minute walk with my phone along. I checked the relevant settings and they are all on, so I believe I have done the calibration.

This morning however, it has not given me credit for either of the hours I've been awake and moving around during the hour. It actually poked me to stand, I stood and walked around, and then it still didn't give me credit, so I am at 0/12 when I should be at 2/12.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, this is one of the features I was most excited about, so it is sad to see it being so inconsistent for me.

Its settled down a bit over the last day or so....I've the watch in total now a week and it seems to be adjusting steps, move, cals etc as it gets to know me better. With regard to stand though, I have discovered that it only counts actual movement for more than a minute - not just standing, which is a little confusing when its called stand time :-) If for example you are standing cooking or ironing and not moving much - and when you do move its less than a minute - then it won't count.

I've worn my watch for a week now and think I am finally getting the standing calculations figured out. If you haven't moved the watch will notify you a 50 minutes past the hour to stand for one minute. I found that you have to move, not just stand and after you move for the required amount of time the watch will notify you again that you accomplished your movement for that hour So you have to keep moving until you get that notification or you won't get credit for that hour.

Thanks to Littlegibbo & iris12 for the advice. It was much better behaved for most of the rest of yesterday, and I was planning to come back this morning and post that.

Of course I woke up this morning, and again it has yet to give me any credit for either of the two hours I've been awake. For the 9:00 hour, it nagged me at 9:50, I promptly got up and was walking around, putting dishes away, taking recycling out, etc. It never gave me the message to say I got credit, and now it has updated to show my 9:00 hour as an idle hour.

So there is still something inconsistent that needs to be figured out...

I Found that the watch seems to only give stand time credit if you walk until you get the completed message. Other activities such as doing dishes or putting dishes away doesn't seem to count so try just walking

Yes, but I jogged around the lounge for about 5 minutes, and it actually credited me with 2 minutes of exercise ( don'r get many of those!) but no credit for standing!

When I first put the watch on in the morning I am standing up and moving round the bedroom, then I come downstairs and make breakfast.  Still no standing credit.  Yet other times it works as advertised, I managed 13/12 yesterday, for instance, but I was out and on my feet most of the day, and I still got a couple of hours when it did not record standing.

What's going on?

You need to stand up and relax your arm so your watch is down next your side, if your watch is raised at all, say for example you stood up and stretched your arms it may not recognise you are standing up.

My latest update: the thing I have found that works most consistently for me is stairs. It takes me about a minute to go up and down two flights of stairs, and that always triggers the stand credit.

I read somewhere else that it might be based on heart rate, so you need to do something that gets your heart rate up a little. Simply standing won't trigger it, and slow strolling around your office while talking on the phone might not either. That doesn't explain @josekimber1 who jogged for 5 minutes but still didn't get credit though!

Anyway, loving my watch so far, especially now that I am understanding how certain things work a little better. Hopefully this thread has some good tips for everyone for getting their stand 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!

I still can't figure out the stand credit sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't.  All of the input really helps! At least I know I haven't totally lost my mind, there are much bigger issues in this world to worry about !

I contacted Apple Support last night about this as I am having the same issue. They recommended that I restart both iPhone and AppleWatch, which didn't help. The next troubleshooting was to un-pair and pair again, which after testing again today, hasn't helped. The next step is to try calibrating, which I haven't had time to do yet because I am revising for my final exams. I hope after I get around to calibrating it sorts the problem out...

I also tried running around the house, even up and down stairs! I even tried dancing about and bounced on the bed but it didn't register. 

Calibrating does not help either.  It just seems to be inconsistent, sometimes it will work, sometimes it doesn't.  Apple always tell you to reset the Watch or pair/unpair as the first solution to everything, I've found, but if you do that it loses any calibration data it had.  My watch decided to reset itself yesterday, so I had to start again, but it still missed one hour of the hours I stood.  When I did a chat about it with Apple they told me that there were some "Software issues" and hopefully this will be sorted out in a week or two with an update.
