I have a Fitbit iconic. I work from home and been trying to stand for few hours whilst working rather than sitting. However there is no way to be able to capture this as Fitbit doesn’t see difference.am I missing something ? Do I need to do something?

Calorie burn is based on heart rate.  Presumably your heart rate is higher standing than when sitting.  This will be reflected in higher calorie burn.

Before posting, re-read to see if it would make sense to someone else not looking at your Fitbit or phone.
