The Apple Watch is a great way to stay healthy and motivated, but the stand reminders can be annoying for some people. If you find yourself constantly dismissing these reminders, you may be wondering how to turn them off. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to do just that.

First, open the Settings app on your Apple Watch. You can do this by pressing the digital crown and then tapping on the gear icon. Once the Settings app is open, scroll down and tap on the Activity app. On the Activity screen, tap on the Stand Reminders option. Here, you will see a toggle switch for the Stand Reminders feature. Simply tap on the toggle switch to turn the feature off.

Once you have turned off the Stand Reminders feature, you will no longer receive reminders to stand up and move around every hour. However, you can still track your stand progress by opening the Activity app and tapping on the Stand tab. If you decide that you want to turn the Stand Reminders feature back on, you can do so by following the same steps as above and tapping on the toggle switch again.

Set a Custom Stand Goal

2. Tap Activity.

Here are some additional tips for customizing your stand goal:

Consider your lifestyle and activity level. If you have a sedentary job, you may need to set a higher stand goal to ensure you’re getting enough movement.
Start gradually. If you’re not used to standing for long periods, don’t set your goal too high too quickly. Gradually increase your goal over time as you become more active.
Be consistent. Try to stand up and move around for a few minutes every hour, even if you don’t reach your full goal.
Don’t be afraid to adjust your goal. If you find that your goal is too easy or too challenging, don’t hesitate to make adjustments.

Change the Stand Reminder Time
