The idea is not really to make you stand (it’s scientifically proven that both sitting all day and standing all day is bad in a different way), the idea is to get you moving, because what is clearly bad for you is keeping the same posture for a prolonged amount of time. Other devices call the same feature “Move alert” and not a “stand alert”
I think the stand alert actually says to stand and walk around a minute. If you are at your desk and you get the alert, you will not satisfy the standing requirement if you just stand there for a minute.
Regardless of what any text about the standing says, you only need to have your watch pointed down for one minute to get the stand credited. That can be standing, or sitting with your wrist dangling. I do the latter when I've stood during that hour but while carrying things.
