      @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

        @ink357 hi
        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 ?

                            Yes it is.

                            Correct. At least to have good/reliable estimation.

                              With Trail Running sport mode you will have also VO2 estimation, in my case it is pretty consistent with the flat runs, but maybe my trail runs are flattish for the algorithm (not for me), I do between 300-450m for 13-14 km and the VO2 only changes some tenths.

                                @cosmecosta i’ll try with this type of exercise next time. Maybe with bike exercise it need a power sensor to give data.
                                What about the custom exercises ?

                                  From what I have read bike exercise won’t give you VO2, am I right @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos?

                                  Regarding custom sport modes if they are based on running/walking sport modes you won’t have problems. Actually my running and trail running sports modes are custom ones.

                                      @ink357 I think it is the combination of a pace of 7:30 min/km in combination with an average heart rate of 170.

                                      What is your max HR?

                                          In order to have correct measurement of VO2Max you should run on flat terrain.
                                          Trail running with lots of ascent for sure will result in worse VO2Max.

                                            @ink357 is your weight correct in the watch? Check it out.

                                            VO2max is related with weight.
