Move Alert not working

I have had the watch for about half a year now and I never once got a move alert.

When I get up and start moving, the watch will give me an alert saying the move bar has cleared. Which is good to know, but not nearly as important as the watch telling me to move after I've been sitting for a bit too long.

I have been keeping the watch up to date.
I have the move alert enabled in the "Notifications & Alerts" part of settings & in the "Health & Wellness" part of the settings.

Any fix for this? Is this a known issue?

Hello 6594996

I am sorry to hear you are having this issue. Does the move alert show active in the watch menu, and the app?

This Move alert will appear when you have been still for at least 1 hour. So keep in mind, even when sitting, if you are moving your hands, this may not take effect. This will also not sound if you are using Do Not Disturb.

If the Move alert is still not working, I would also recommend trying a hard reset. For this, hold the Light button until the watch shuts off, as opposed to selecting power off. Then power this on again.
