I'm not getting breathe reminders since switching to watchOS 4. I can't believe I've been holding my breath for this long!

Breathe reminders?

When I upgraded to 4, I found that I wasn't getting Stand reminders and googled this. I first reset the watch as new and that didn't work. I came across the following article which has resolved my issue. I'm not sure if this has an impact on the other reminders but it may be worth a shot.

You just have to explicitly remember to breathe and exhale slowly throughout the 60-second period, multiple times a day (which—I agree—is somewhat odd).
I was just about to post a thread asking about not getting stand reminders. I noticed that I was not getting my stand reminders the other day (I have my breath reminders turned off) I also asked my best friend and they said they also are not getting stand reminders since upgrading from AW series 0 to the new series 3. Also, I have noticed that when you look at the "bars" to see if you have gotten credit for standing (since sometimes even if I stand/walk around, sometimes I still don't get credit) they used to be a lighter shade so you could tell that you have not received credit but now they don't show up at all until it credits you, so it is not easy to tell if you got credit for that hour.
Ok So updated to 4.1 yesterday night... so far still no breathe reminders. Seriously Apple many people experiencing this with their shiny phones V1, V2 and V3! for a fitness device its really missing the point!
Did 4.1 fix this for anyone??
Thx,

Added Breathe as a data source in the Siri face, and I seem to get more regular reminders now. Additionally, tapping the Breathe card begins the sequence without the need to open the app.
Updating to 4.1 did not fix the breathe reminders for me. Neither did using the Siri face (which I would never use, but tried it just to see if I would get the breathe reminders- which I did not).
Thanks a lot. Have same settings. Was in contact with Apple. Had to sent them some data. They thought it has been solved with 4.1. But it‘s not.
They told me that certain calendar events could stop the app from reminding us.
That’s interesting, sounds like there’s still a problem. I’m not getting the 4 reminders per day that I should get - maybe 2 at best.

I’ve had mine set to 10 per day for the last month or so, just to see if I could get them to trigger more often.
I got one or two reminders a week, up until 2 weeks ago. Since then, I haven’t received one.
It’s very annoying.

My problem wasn’t fixed by this, but just cleared up, for the first time since I went to WatchOS 4 (which was on the first day) after I went to Health->Mindefulness->Mindful Minutes and fiddled around with Show All Data and Data Sources & Access. I didn’t actually change anything, just fiddled around.
I just got my series 3 last week, and have problems getting reminders, almost no Breath reminders and only occasional Stand reminders. I'd really like to see the breath ones. Hopefully an update will fix. I found a whole lot of people on line with same problems, but found no fixes.
Historically, Stand reminders need you to go to Watch->My Watch->Health->Wheelchair->No. Breath Reminders are still a mystery.
I also don’t get breathe reminders as scheduled. I have it set to 10 times a day (I’ve tried other intervals), and I see maybe two a week. It’s so strange.
