      @Neurunni is this at night, or also with manual measurements? My protocol for manual measurements is very still, arm on the table in from of me, and I usually get good measurements. Anyway I do not use this feature for health (the watch is not a health device), just when at altitude (morning during breakfast and evening during dinner).

        @Neurunni no other metric uses SPO2 as input, for what I know.

            Obviously I’m not using it for medical purposes for myself or anyone else, i was simply curious if it’s normal for my watch to show me inaccurately that my lungs are dying is all.
            Thanks for the replies.

              @isazi do you happen to know what the VO2Max uses? It’s a formula & wondering if it’s based off of HR only

                @Neurunni well it shouldn’t give such horrible measurements, that’s why I asked if it was during the day or at night you got them.

                  @Neurunni should be pace and HR only, I don’t have the exact formula of the Firstbeat VO2max algorithm Suunto is using.

                        I would recommend to try different strap “settings”. I am used to wear my watch lose, but tighter settings of the strap will improve sensor measurement quality.
                        maybe you already wear it tight enough, but just mentioning it as a potential improvement

                          @freeheeler In fact, at least for me, the current strap has made the big difference, now giving me consistent results. also, be careful to stand still during measurements.
