Activity Ring Question (alien.top)

I don't know if this is a matter of calibration or if I have a faulty watch. I recently purchased an SE2 and I find my activity rings filling up even when I'm not actually achieving them. Specifically, it's the Move ring and the Stand ring. I could be working all day sitting in my chair and by the end of it I've apparently hit 100-150 calories of movement? Also, I'm not sure what Stand is supposed to track... I suppose I probably have stood up 7-10 times over the duration of the day to grab some water... is that what it's tracking? I've had situations come up where I get the notification to stand up, and about 10 seconds later (without my standing) it would say "Complete!" and fill up the ring...

If it's a calibration issue, how do I recalibrate? Or could this be a lemon and I should bring it back to Apple? Thanks!

The Move Ring shows how many active calories you have burned by doing workouts or activities. It includes your daily life activities, so burning 150-200 calories without doing something in particular is completely reasonable.

The Exercise Ring shows how many minutes you have spend doing workouts and/or activities that equals or exceed a certain intensity. Your Cardio Fitness level is used to determine that certain intensity.

The Stand Ring shows how many times you have been standing and moving for at least one minute in different hours in the day.
