      @Frederick-Rochette said in What is the problem with Vo2max est on SV?:

      @Egika However, I had a different data almost every time I went out with my S9P, so I don’t understand what’s going on. In any case, no one here is able to find me a solution, just give me generalities and try to show me that I’m using my watch incorrectly.
      However, it seems obvious that there is a problem of estimation with this SV.
      Am I the only one to have identical data after each run or do you have different data, even with very little difference?

      While your basic concern is the “stuck” value, I think those generalities make sense to discuss anyway. Some very good remarks regarding VO2max in this thread 👍

      Regarding your identical values question: Yes, I have those as well sometimes. That’s what I meant in my comment above:
      “Regarding the “stuck” values:
      I found that the watch just keeps the old value, if data collected was not enough for a new calculation.”

      It is not your individual watch, but a systematic thing.
      For me, the values are not always stuck though. That’s why I suspect the FirstBeat algorithm to not accept every workout. But you are right. It’s just educated guessing here.

                @Frederick-Rochette you’ll get a new VO2max algorithm in few weeks for what I heard.

                  Seems to work for me. vo2max can be improved, of course, but you don’t change it a lot easily or quickly. It’s a long term work.
                  Large drop for me in may (S9B=>SV switch), and then it progressivly came back to my « average values ».

                            This is potentially not really an issue as we have been told the algo is changing yes?

                            Always carry a flaggon of whiskey for snakebite; and furthermore, always carry a small snake.

                              As you can see vo2 max varies and I’m not stucked. But as you can see too I have lower levels when there is much ascend. So this is something to think of.
