Suunto Vertical NO VO2 Max

BrunoH

Suunto support gave me a detailed list of requirements:

15-20 min excercise, walk or run
perfect GPS and perfect HR tracking. No gaps allowed
minimum 8 minutes of zone 3 HR

Pedros

@BrunoH they also gave me that requirements. Been doing 15-20 mins runs and walks for like 2 weeks now. I followed every instructions they gave.

I didn’t think you could get a VO2 Max estimation from walking, or did that change with the last update?

@MiniForklift if I remember correctly, this was always the case. This was one of the reasons for me to disable OHR for hiking.

@Pedros As @BrunoH stated you need good HR. It is possible that the OHR is spiking or there are gaps. If so, the VO2M will not show. Have you tried an HR belt?

EDIT: That was a genuine question, not sure that it deserved a downvote

Grab my hand, I’ll pull you up!

I don’t know why, but the algorithm is enabled for walking. And it’s been like this in many old watch models. Some people are requesting it for cycling as well.

I used to get crappy V02max results with S9B for my hikes in the forest. IMHO the old Firstbeat algorithm used to be easiser to get the measurement. Now it’s been over a month already and I still haven’t seen my V02max in SV, but I gave up trying. We’ve been having -15C temperatures and I am not much of a runner…

I am out of suggestions! I would not reset the watch. If after a few more runs and not working. Send logs to Suunto and send me a PM, provide the date and time logs sent (time zone too please) and the email you use to log into the Suunto app. I will forward a report to Suunto on this.
