What counts as standing up?

Hello!

On the Watch you can close these rings and one of them is for standing up. But what counts as standing up? I’ve gone on a walk and the exercise ring has counted it as 17 minutes of exercise but the standing up ring hasn’t figured out you need to stand up to be able to walk. When I came home I went gaming for an hour and after that went to fold my laundry. So you’d think that after an hour on a couch and then going up stairs and folding clothes for 15 minutes would also be a trigger for standing up, but the Apple Watch doesn’t realize it yet.

What actually counts as standing up?

Thanks!

Your arm needs to be hanging down for one minute at least once every hour. If it’s bent because you’re holding something or doing a task, it doesn’t know if you’re standing or not and won’t count.

I guess that explains why I never close that ring on the days I’m most active haha

Also can’t set it to lower than 6 so it’s making the entire Watch feel like a dumb device🫤
