Standing recognition

[Mikeoner]

I have a standing desk and it important to me very much as my fitbit charge 2 currently has no differentiation between me standing and sitting, which seems bizarre. I used to have xiaomi 2 and all of the functions are the same, it will be interesting in terms of accuracy if this is the case.

The differentiating factor is the standinve vs sitting which xiaomi doesn't have but apple watch does. I stand almost 8 hours a day at my desk which is why I dropped the Xiaomi for fitbit. It is my problem I know as should have read the directions more clearly. Tech wise is this something you can add? Or would you recommend another model if I need this service please?

This would be great, particularly if it could figure out if I was standing or sitting.  I work in *exactly* the same spot everyday, as far as my wrist is concerned, I'm about a good foot or more higher. I don't know how easy it would be to differentiate that or perhaps figure out if I'm sitting relative to the height of the wrist when I'm clearly walking but if it knew when I sat down and when I stood up that would be amazing.

Need a logging option for standing especially now with standing desks.  Just add an activity and I can log it myself.

Hello Fitbit,

By when can the new feature "standing time" be expected to be available ?

Count hours standing and adjust the calorie burn appropriately.

Hi @SunsetRunner, thanks for explaining why you would like to have the option to get "Standing" recognized as an activity. Thanks for sharing your feedback. I've moved it into a similar request.  A lot of users are asking for this option, I hope we receive updates soon.

This is a much needed feature! I recently bought a fitbit Inspire, and am rather surprised and disappointed that Fitbit doesn't have this feature yet! I would certainly like to be able to know how much I am standing and how this affects my calorie expenditure. Seeing this data would be such a good motivator to encourage to stand more!

Wow this sucks been about 3 years and this is still not a feature. I love my fitbit. This would be awesome if the feature was available !

Hi!

I agree with this. It would be so great to see this feature added, especially since I've been working from home and on a screen a lot more during these unprecedented times. I realize that people are starting to go back to work, which definitely means more movement, but I think the pandemic has really highlighted the need to take care of our health even more.

Thank you!

If there would be an 'exercise' standing next to runnimg, cycling etc., so I could start and stop the time I'm standing, that would be great. I really try to reduce the longest sedentairy period and total time sedentary. So it's a bit frustrating to see that I was sedentairy for almost 2 hours, when I was on my feet half of that time.

Just came here looking for this feature. Would love to see it implemented without having to log standing multiple times each day!

This would be great to have! My sister has this on her Apple Watch, it’s something I would love to track and be more aware of sitting at a desk most of the day.
