      @Egika However, I had a different data almost every time I went out with my S9P, so I don’t understand what’s going on. In any case, no one here is able to find me a solution, just give me generalities and try to show me that I’m using my watch incorrectly.
      However, it seems obvious that there is a problem of estimation with this SV.
      Am I the only one to have identical data after each run or do you have different data, even with very little difference?

        While your basic concern is the “stuck” value, I think those generalities make sense to discuss anyway. Some very good remarks regarding VO2max in this thread 👍

        Regarding your identical values question: Yes, I have those as well sometimes. That’s what I meant in my comment above:
        “Regarding the “stuck” values:
        I found that the watch just keeps the old value, if data collected was not enough for a new calculation.”

        It is not your individual watch, but a systematic thing.
        For me, the values are not always stuck though. That’s why I suspect the FirstBeat algorithm to not accept every workout. But you are right. It’s just educated guessing here.

          @Frederick-Rochette Ihave also a Vertical and with me the data changes a little bit every time i completed a training, it is not stuck as you can see.
          When i am training for a marathon the value wil rise bij maby two or tree points or soba642232-70ad-4770-a6bc-1ab0b529545c-1698320964787.jpg image url)

                  @Frederick-Rochette you’ll get a new VO2max algorithm in few weeks for what I heard.

                    Seems to work for me. vo2max can be improved, of course, but you don’t change it a lot easily or quickly. It’s a long term work.
                    Large drop for me in may (S9B=>SV switch), and then it progressivly came back to my « average values ».

                              This is potentially not really an issue as we have been told the algo is changing yes?

                                As you can see vo2 max varies and I’m not stucked. But as you can see too I have lower levels when there is much ascend. So this is something to think of.
