Apple Watch does not register stand time after getting up

[GTimG]

Hi all,
I'm having some issues with the stand recognition on my AW 6.
After wearing it in the night, it won't recognize that I'm standing.
This abillity can be restored by restarting iPhone and Watch, which is really annoying.

Has anyone expierenced this problem too and/or knows a solution?

Thanks in advance and have a nice day!

Exactly what are you doing as part of this stand routine? If you are literally just standing on the spot and not moving it will not register.

Yes, you must walk for over 30 seconds or be moving around so your arm is swinging.

I actually walked for a solid 10 minutes. The watch even counted my steps, but did not register that I was standing.

Definitely not right then. Sorry, I don’t know what else to suggest other than re-pairing your watch with your phone.

The way the watch registers that you are standing is by swinging your arm. You can be sitting in your chair and if you swing your arm back and forth it will register as a stand. I recommend you walk with an exaggerated arm swinging motion as if you’re marching and it will definitely register. Try to do it when no is around cos you’ll look ridiculous though 😄

This seems to have fixed my problem. Thank you, kind stranger.
