Watch failing to notify me to stand up, doesn't track when I stand up

Question

Got my watch yesterday, and aside from three times total in the past 24+ hours of having it and wearing it, it doesn't alert me to stand up once per hour.
The watch also doesn't seem to track when I stand up of my own accord, be it to just stand up for a minute, or when I move around my house to get things done.
Is there something I need to do to get the watch to sense when I'm standing up, and to tell me to stand up once per hour? It alerted me 3 hours in a row, always at the 50 minute marker (such as 1:50, 2:50, etc) to stand up for a minute. Then it stopped.
I wear the watch as tight as possible.

If I understand it correctly, your watch wants you to stand 1 minute per hour, all hours you are awake for the day. If it does manage to track when you stand up, it should track one minute per each hour you're on your feet, and add that to the activity wheel. Total for 12 minutes in a day. I could see wanting it to track the 30 minutes (arbitrary number) you're standing here and there, so you have that info - that would be a nice feature. While it's arguably healthier to be on your feet more often than not during the day, I think Apple's main goal is to just get people up once per hour.
I do use the workout app.
All alerts are on. Sometimes it reminds me to stand up every hour at the fifty-minute mark, sometimes it goes hours without.
I was also on my feet for two straight hours on Saturday and it didn't notice it until I was 1.5 hours in, and then it asked me to stand up.
Yes, lots of little quirks/bugs popping up all over the place. Passcode issues, the watch interrupting the bluetooth connection of phone-to-car (and requiring me to un-pair then re-pair my phone to car) when I get a notification of any kind, the stand tracking issue, not tracking movement accurately, etc. I don't mind, though. I'm usually a beta tester for other products and video games, so I just try to report what I encounter.
