I was hoping it would fix the Walky talky.

It doesn’t fix the activity rings just use minutes. My minutes were fine anyway.

This may be a dumb question, but...anyone know of a way to reinstate the missed Stand data?

I've got a 119-day streak of all three rings + workout dot. I broke my streak yesterday because after recording a stand hour at 07:00, it then didn't record any Stand data at all until I happened to notice at about 15:00 that it was not recording my Stand hours. I rebooted my watch and it then started recording properly, but by that stage there weren't enough hours in the day to reach the 12-hour goal.

As you can imagine, after 119 days, this is pretty damn irritating.
