how is "stand" measured?

My stand measurement seems to stop detecting movement on my apple watch series 5 for ramdom 1 hour windows. Today I tracked movement for the 11AM window. I moved around my location, including climbing stairs for 30 minutes of the hour, yet it did not registrer on my stand monitor. My watch is running at ver 7.0.1 it is a model A2093

This is a quote from Apple Support website;

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.


The minute that you stand and move around can be anytime from 1 minute after the hour until 1 minute before the next hour.

If you have stand reminders turned on then if you haven't stood yet in the current hour then the watch will remind you to stand at 50 minutes past the hour,this gives you 10 minutes in which to stand and move around before the next hour starts.

Fieryjack -

thanks for the explaination. What I'm questioning is the actual measurement. I the window that I referenced, I was indeed moving, i.e. walking around, climbing/decending stairs, etc., for approx 30 minutes, but the watch did not reflect the completion of the 1 minute of movement. Is there some class of movement that must be performed?

I suspect that I found the problem. Yesterday, when I 1st observed the issue, I had forgotten that I changed the orientation of my watch from "Left" to "Right". However, when I moved the watch from my right back to my left, I forgot to change the orientation as well. I just a ran a quick test and saw that the stand/move measurements were updated correctly.
