      @hgavert It is in the watch. if you enter your max HR, it asks you if you want to adjust your zones automatically.
      I don’t know what model Suunto has based it’s zones on, but you can always adjust your zones manually if you like.

        Yeah, I should probably set them manually, but I haven’t had the time to look up how to calculate reasonable values.

            Thanks, that was interesting read! I will try that test maybe next summer if my foot allows me to run. However, I went back to the watch and toggled the max HR and finally when I found the clear or default settings, then it changed the zones to something more reasonable. Still based on the max HR of course.

              @hgavert Your zones are clearly off. Zone 5 is for interval efforts, most cannot maintain HR in zone 5 for very long. For an setting based on effort, Zone 1 you should be able to converse easily, and talk as long as you want. Zone 2 you will need to breathe more and that will interrupt conversation some. Zone 3 a sentence, Zone 4 a couple words and Zone 5 is difficult to speak at all.

                In theory you cannot stay in zone 5 for more than 5mins without throwing up

                  Hi!
                  After the first time is vo2max calculated with all sports or just with walking and running?

                      @hgavert hi there.
                      I was having same problem as you. But I have 2.10.26. Which is latest. But it was still not working. I did a hard reset today. And then a run. And now it’s working well. It is a bit of a pain doing hard reset and then setting up watch again. But worth it to get feature working

                        I asked suunto help centre about this.
                        You need to do walk/run for calibration but after this your levels should change doing any exercise type.
                        I have just done calibration today. So I have not tested this yet. But will let you know results mi week.

                          I’ve just made a 2 hours walk exercice but no vo2max estimated 😕
                          It was a personalized exercice, do you think i have to calibrate with basic walk or run mode ?

                            @ink357 that could be the problem
                            I would do a hard reset. That’s what I did this morning then it basic run and got my fitness level

                                To get VO2max you need good HR readings and a bit of effort (go to zone 2+ ) from my experience

                                SVTS - 2.40.38

                                  I think HR was good because there is no loses.

                                  I’ve made a hard reset… and lost my personalized exercises 😰

                                  How to add basic exercises in the watch ? Just make one and it will add ? Or i need to do that in SA ?

                                  Let’s try tomorrow !

                                    it’s a great disadvantage that sport mode customization is not stored and backed up in SA!

                                      Are you sure ? I finally got a vo2max estimated last thursday. But today after my ride in bike mode no changes. It was a 1 hour ride and i went in the 5 zone of HR.

                                      Someone can confirm that the vo2max estimated will change after every exercices in all sports mode ?

                                        I think only works with running activities.

                                          I just come from a walk exercise and the vo2max has changed…
                                          Maybe that is just for for walk and run basic exercise. It make sense because the 2 exercises that gave me a vo2max estimated were with ascent, so the vo2max is so poor. To have good data the ground must be flat, no ?

                                            Correct. At least to have good/reliable estimation.
