The Apple Watch features a great number of health and fitness features. One of the most popular is the Activity rings that allow users to try to hit a number of burned calories, exercise minutes, and to stand for at least one minute per hour.
To help you remember to stand, the Apple Watch features Time to Stand notifications. If you have been sitting for the first 50 minutes of an hour, you will get a notification to stand up for at least a minute to earn credit for your Stand ring. But many find those notifications annoying.
We'll show you how to turn off Time to Stand notifications.
There are two quick ways to turn off Time to Stand Notifications.
The first way is on your Apple Watch. Start by pressing the Digital Crown once. If you're interested, find out everything the Digital Crown and Side Button can do on your Apple Watch.
Then head to Settings and then scroll down to Activity. Select that and toggle off Stand Reminders. In the same menu, you can also select to toggle off a number of other Activity-related notifications like goal completions, special challenges, and more.
Alternatively, you can also turn off the Time to Stand Notifications on your iPhone. Open the companion Watch app and head to the My Watch tab. Scroll down and choose Activity. Just like on the Apple Watch, you can toggle off Stand Reminders and other related notifications.
Just to note, even after turning off the Time to Stand notification, the Apple Watch will continue to record your standing hours.
As a nice touch, all the Activity goals, including your Stand hours are customizable. Find out how to change the Activity goals on your Apple Watch.
One of the advantages of the Apple Watch is the wide amount of customization options so you'll only see the information and notifications important to you.
So if you're not a fan of the Time to Stand notifications, you can disable them with just a few taps.
