Add stand hours to apple watch

The Stand ring shows hours in which you've stood and moved for at least a minute. Complete your daily Stand goal by standing up and moving around for at least 1 minute during 12 different hours in the day. Even if you stand all day, you still need to move around to earn credit for standing. For more info, see:

Use the Activity app on your Apple Watch - Apple Support

You can set Stand reminders to get notifications when you need to stand until your goal is met. See the 'Set activity reminders' section in the above link.

Open the Health App.

At the bottom, click on "Browse."

Tap on "Activity"

Tap on "Workouts"

At the top right tap on "Add Data."

To add a Stand Minute,select "Other" as the Activity Type.

Now in the minutes below, make the time difference between start and finish just one minute,make sure you haven't changed the date.

Once done, click "Add"

That minute of workout will now count as a Stand Minute in the blue ring.

This actually doesn’t work any more. Is there a new solution?

I was wondering the same, is there a new solution ? This no longer works unfortunately

I lose a minimum of one stand hour everyday and most days it’s short 3-5 stand hours (the avg 2) and it’s also not accurate on flights of stairs-

its more than annoying to miss your goals because you try to hit them every single day. I didn’t have these issues until I upgraded to the ultra. Apples response is ALWAYS reset it and go for a 20min walk

A. The stand reminders don’t work since two updates ago

B. I can climb flights of stairs and it doesn’t register standing for an hour

C. I can pace for 95min with my newborn grandchild and bc my arms weren’t moving the two hours didn’t show a stand- I never sat down and was consoling a newborn away from his sick mom in the ER…

any other ideas?

that was very helpful. I cannot wear an Apple Watch during a soccer game so that helped me a lot.
