      @Eddy-De-Backer I doubt it. But then for your use case a VO2max value is of no added value anyway…?

          @Eddy-De-Backer perhaps you can track a “fast as you can” walk with the yellow running workout selected? I dont’t know if there has to be a ‘minimum speed’? Perhaps @Egika knows? I am not a fast runner (normally between 7’00 and 8’00 min/km for most of my runs) and I get a VO2 max and an automatic lactate threshold measurement

            @ChrisA @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos I’ve been using my SR for almost a month now. I have taken 5 walks where the activity in SA indicates VO2max. However, I do not yet see a VO2max appearing in the training zone and in the SR. Is this normal ?

                @Eddy-De-Backer Perhaps this will need time again 6 month to fix it?! 🤔🤔🤔🤔

                    I’m also not getting any Vo2 max data even though I’ve done several max intensity bike rides. When I’m wearing the HR strap I get to my max hr at high intensity, the watch hr doesn’t even get close. Max HR is 190 but the watch seems to have trouble reading my intervals.
                    Anyway , i get a CTL reading of 60-63 for the last 4 weeks but no other data on that widget.

                      @Santana-Hakuba-Kikstra VO2max is only supposed to work on run and walk activities. It has never been there for bike rides!

                      I said “supposed to work” because now it’s disappeared from my Vertical completely.

                        @Santana-Hakuba-Kikstra I contacted support, I presented the problem, also for the SV users. The lady, Sofie, immediately passed it on to the right team. She is going to send me an answer by email. I wonder if I’ll ever hear anything. 🤔 But so as already is said, VO2max is only for walks and runs.

                            The absence of baro graph on the Solar version is not a bug it is by design. You may ask for this to change but that is how the watch face is designed. If you need a watch with more watch faces perhaps Garmin, Apple or Coros would be a better choice for you.

                              Do activities that use GPS signals continuously for 20 minutes or more and the HR value must be at 70% of MaxHR. It is recommended to use the Running basic activity mode.
                              #This is what Suunto Thailand recommended to do, Let’s see if this is work for you.

                                Hi all. First of all. The vo2max tag in the activities has nothing to do with actual vo2max measurements. It means you did a good effort depending on your zones.

                                Second only run activities produce vo2max.

                                Third you need a couple of activities to get and estimate.

                                  Thanks 🙏 but after 5 decent runs still nothing.
                                  64 CTL now, but zero other info. One month use( every day but 90% cycling)

                                        @BrunoH I think I meet all the conditions, but Vo2max and fitness age do not appear on the watch or in the app. Wait and see if anything changes after the promised update, otherwise back to the SV where this data will appear for me (I will miss the amoled screen of the SR)Screenshot_20231124_150501_Photos.jpg Screenshot_20231124_144622_Suunto.jpg Screenshot_20231124_145006_Suunto.jpg Screenshot_20231124_145717_Suunto.jpg

                                          @Santana-Hakuba-Kikstra my Garmin forerunner 955 gives me almost 53,5 and Suunto Race 51,5, curiously give me the same age 20 😂 and I have 45. Every company have they’re algorithms and I think in 8 runs they don’t have all the data they need. I have same definitions in Suunto and Garmin, HR threshold, maximum HR, height and weight,the HR zones are the same and I always use chest strap so in my perspective they have different algorithms,but which is right? Depends from what you want to believe 😁 enjoy the watch, this is just numbers which means nothing,I see people with higher vo² than mine,youngers and and run slower than me

                                            It’s definitely interesting, my Garmin running Vo2 max is 51 , since I don’t run much but ride 15000 km per year on the bike I have 65 Vo2 max for cycling (I’m 54😂) according to Garmin but unfortunately the Suunto watch doesn’t calculate for cycling.
