Stand goals and wrist detection?

My stand goal/ring started working when I turned it on and when I just tried to turn it off, it warned me that some activity measurements would be unavailable.
I don't know why but it must be linked to the blue stand ring in some way.

Turning wrist detection on will cause the watch to lock when it loses contact with your skin.
As the watch is effectively locked, it will not track any movement at all as it is effectively has been removed.
Read what the thread is about. Wrist Detection and NOT Wake Screen on Wrist Rise.
You don't say. So I was reading wrong where Apple says right in the app "...wrist detection locks your watch when you are not wearing it..."

My bad, long day
Because it doesn't work for me. I know this is a weak excuse but without the wrist detection the watch doesn't know it's worn or just moved in a bag or something like that. Series 0 here. It does not work for me. If it does for you I am clueless.
I only use the watch detection setting as I use Apple Pay with my watch, before this was activated I had the watch detection turned off.
I have never missed a stand goal since the day I got the watch, nor has it failed to accurately track my activity - without or without the setting activated.
I have never used wrist detection. Yours and my watch do not "know" anything. Just a simple device run by Apple programming.
