      @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.

          @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.

                    I moved to Vertical few days ago, from Peak Pro 9. Vertical was huge for my hand, compared to Peak 9 pro. Now After few days i think its perfect, and Peak 9 pro was just too small :D. Also Vertical (49mm like Race) suits better, and less move, its more comfortable!

                    Hey does this Race strap looks different than in Vertical/Peak 9 Pro? Seems like have bigger holes or its just my mind?

                      @Tami999 The strap is definitely different. Feels kind of softer than the one in my 9PP. Also, as I mentioned, for me this watch feels better on my wrist than 9PP. It’s a nice watch and I definitely like it, no doubt about that.

                        @Tami999 yes, the Race strap is more flexible than the Vertical one

                          @wmichi my VO2max is visible all the time (never vanished) but my running estimates and the lactate threshold number is gone. But I did not run outdoors for 10 days (just did some treadmill runs last week and didn’t run this week because of health issues), so maybe that’s the reason…

                            @ChrisA do you also track other sports besides running?

                              @wmichi outdoors mainly walks with the dog. They show a VO2max after completion,so that maybe the cause, that its showing up all the time. The rest is Indoor treadmill running, strength training and martial arts, which all don’t show VO2max scores.

                                  @Highlands Ahhh too late…I find the strap on the Race gives me better OHR readings, when I change it for one with “SUUNTO” on it my OHR is worse.
