      I cant seem to find vo2max value displayed in the watch or the app. Where should that be?

        @vlado if you have not walked or run a few times, it’s not displayed yet (needs to calibrate). The watch tells you when it’s calibrated. Then you have a health level in the watch and the training section in Suunto App where you will see it too.

          @Tieutieu For me the VO2max value keeps disappearing every day. I go running, VO2max is displayed. The following day it’s no longer displayed. Then I go running and it’s displayed again.

              @Tieutieu Yes I have. Lot’s of running activities (running, trail running), 6 of them made with the Race, all longer than 1 hour. For all of them I got a VO2max value in the activity details. And the value was displayed in the progress widget on the watch on that day. And it always disappears the following day.

                @wmichi on the progress widget, scroll up (or is it down?) . The second screen is the VO2 max

                  @David-l I know where it can be found, it’s not there. Yesterday it was there. Am I the only one with a constantly disappearing VO2max info on the watch? 🙂

                  Maybe it happens because I am not only running but also doing other sports, often times on the same day (for example running in the morning, rollerskiing late afternoon). I don’t know, I am not doing anything special with the watch, never saw this behaviour on other Suunto watches.

                  And shouldn’t there also be threshold values displayed and some infos about 5k, 10k, 20k, 42k distances? To be honest, I don’t know what has to be done, that these infos are displayed (I guess a threshold test or a similar workout). So far I haven’t done something like that with the Race.

                    @wmichi Same here, race prediction and Lactate threshold disappeared… But did not run for some days, since having a cold 🥶, vo2 max is there all the time though

                      @ChrisA I did a run this morning and VO2max appeared again on the watch. Let’s see if it’s still there after my afternoon rollerski session 🙂 I have never seen threshold/race prediction on the watch. Reason might be that I haven’t done any running intervals yet (HR maybe generally too low during my running workouts to calculate threshold values).

                        @wmichi that’s a possibility. I would love to see Suunto releasing more information on how this works, it seems to be an automatic process, but for me it’s not clear, how it works, e.g. like you say, does it need a certain HR percentage or a certain duration during a workout? Maybee Suunto is putting more information in the manual someday.

                          @ChrisA usually Suunto is putting this kind of information in their blog articles:
                          https://www.suunto.com/de-de/sports/

                          Some good read in there

                          t6, S6, Elementum Terra, Ambit 3 Sapphire, Spartan Ultra Copper, Traverse Alpha, S7 Graphite LE, S9B Ambassador, S9P Granite Blue Titanium, S9PP Titanium Sand, Vertical All Black, Race Titanium Charcoal,

                            @Egika thanks, but can you find information on how the lactate threshold calculation is done on the race (I.e. does one have to ran a certain mileage a week, or duration or do you need to reach a certain HR level… ). I have read a lot of it and it’s really great information, but there seems no information on this yet.

                              @wmichi yesterday after my run I had VO2Max estimation, but today it is gone. I took picture yesterday, and today there is no that data available on the watch.

                              Also sleep tracking for today was horrendous.

                              According to the watch I was awake better part of the night and I have 98% resources in the morning xD

                              Start of sleep and wake up times are correct, but all in between is terrible

                                @ChrisA I just finished my second workout today (roller skiing). Now my VO2Max value is no longer displayed on the watch. Clearly a little bug.

                                  Just finished reading full review from DC and he is mentioning Monday’s firmware update?

                                    @vlado Yes, Monday seems the big day. I found two more bugs (during training), but I think I will wait for the new firmware before reporting them to support.

                                            For me it feels a bit more comfortable than the 9PP.
                                            It’s updating now. From what I’ve seen and felt, I really like it.
