What Causes the Apple Watch Not to Register Your Standing Time?

Sometimes, the Apple Watch doesn’t register to stand. Let’s get the issue straight: standing up doesn’t mean you’re doing a workout; you’re actively standing and not sitting down for an extended period. To track your active minutes, your watch must have been on your wrist for an hour without being still or lying down for more than 15 minutes. Let’s say you’re working on a project and take a break only to sit at your desk again. This will cause your watch to think you’ve been still for more than 15 minutes and won’t track the standing time as active minutes.

Some other reasons for the Apple Watch not tracking standing time include:

–Bad positioning on your wrist (tilt your arm slightly forward or adjust it so that it is over your forearm, rather than just sticking out at weird angles)

–A low battery (plug into the charger!)

How to Get the Apple Watch to Recognize Standing Time

Try these tips:

• Position your wrist in a way that the watch registers more movement. Resting it over your forearm will register moves like typing or moving with greater ease than just resting on your hand.
• Keep a closer eye on your active minutes. You can check by going to the Activity app or the Watch App.
• Charge your watch! Those who have low batteries sometimes experience this problem.
