@isazi said in VO2 Max:

Akos Hajas

@isazi I reset the watch and now is working everything normal…

@richard-thygesen I get the VO2 worth but it is very different from Coros or Garmin Fenix 6. With the last two watches I usually have a VO2 of 44 to 45. With the S9 Peak I have 39 … I hope that I will adjust that

Richard Thygesen

@sascha-domres ok, I came from another brand before my S9 non baro and decreased my VO2max alot. It has slowly increased but it’s nowhere near the value I had with the other brand.

Richard Thygesen

@sascha-domres I can add that if i do intervall traning with high pulse the watch always increase my vo2max but decrease it on slower runs.

@richard-thygesen same here… I have 40 to 42 with Garmin and other devices with firstbeat algorithms like the Huawei GT 2e,

then comes polar with 39 and then Suunto with 38

(and I am exactly as fit as my age is ) .

But since it’s only an estimated value from your running metrics and not really analysed in a lab I find it quite close in average and on Suunto it reflects me getting fitter since I started running last year in summer, where I got 35

I don’t know about other brands, but my values are pretty consistent across my Suunto watches (Ambit 3 peak, Suunto 9 Baro and Suunto 9 Peak)

53-55

I used the Ambit 3 and S9B with a HR belt and the S9P with OHR.

@surfboomerang my values are in line between S9 baro and peak, and also Garmin watches.

When determining the vo2max it can differ.

Example:

on other watches you did a good relaxed session

On your new watch you have not done that

Out of interest from reading this, has anyone here done an actual VO2max test in a lab?.. if so what is the difference between lab vs watch? I have done a few lab tests and Suunto watch shows the same for me.

@zhang965 slowly converging

I have 56 in the lab and 48-50 with Suunto 9Peak and baro and 49 with Garmin.

Likarnik

I got 65 in lab, but never more than 60 on S9P, but S9B showed 62 a year ago.

Currently it shows 45.4, because I did slow (Z2) verticals in last two weeks, so mostly power hiking up and running down. Fast run on flat - VO2 goes up.

cosme.costa

I had 60 in the lab and I’m around 56 to 59 in my S9B, depends a lot on the type of exercise you do, quickish/shortish/flatish run my VO2max goes up, the longer and hilly my runs are it goes down.

Thanks for all for sharing, really interesting to see! Mine is 63 in lab and 62 on Suunto watches (both Suunto 9 Baro and Suunto 9 Peak)
