Thus, whether you have the reminder turned off or on, your stand count in the Activity Ring and elsewhere in the activity monitoring features of Apple Watch will continue to function and monitor your standing and sedentary behavior.įor most Apple Watch users who are able to regularly stand for a minute and have office jobs, spend a lot of time at a desk, or even the couch in front of a TV, they should probably leave the stand reminder turned on. With the setting off, the Apple Watch will stop nudging you to stand up every hour and ‘move a little for a minute’, but, and this is important to note, it will still track your standing activity.

The Stand Reminder feature is aimed at combating the incredibly detrimental health consequences of sitting too much, something that nearly all of us with desk jobs do, and the gentle tap and chime can be quite effective to move around a bit.

One of the most notable features for Apple Watch users is the “Stand Reminder”, which, much as it sounds, is a gentle reminder to stand up every 50 minutes and move around for a bit. Apple Watch has a variety of fitness tracking and motivational features that are aimed at improving the wearers activity and health, or at least their awareness of it.
