      during the week end I test with Heart Rate Belt and my VO2max become ok !

      So I think that the new Firmware don’t take account the optical heart rate of the watch…

        Same here on Vertical. Since 6 months now (as we know, after two firmware updates) my VO2Max doesn’t change. Any help would be appreciated.

          @Ars-Vitae Are you using a belt or the OHR sensor of the watch? And do you get consistent readings?
          I noticed that my VO2Max isn’t changing when I use the OHR in colder conditions. It turns out that I get very inaccurate readings so maybe the watch discards those sessions so it does not mess up your VO2Max.
          When the weather gets warmer, the reading become spot-on and also my VO2Max is changing again.

            @surfboomerang I am using only watch sensor. However, I analyzed my progress once again and looked at the details in the application. I came to the conclusion that without clear progress (so far I’m only at the level of maintaining form) my VO2Max has no chance to improve. The summer season is approaching, so I will have the opportunity to get out of my comfort zone and prepare for some competitions, then I will check this parameter again. Thanks for your reply.

              Hi! Can someone help me with where I can see my fitness level or my fitness age on the 9 peak pro? Thanks!

                @Adamhert Progress widget and scroll down (you should have run though a couple of times to get performance info - dependant on your HR zones too).

                    I am experiencing kind of strange behaviour of vo2max value. It changes but not the way I expected 😅 last Saturday I did some interval run and got 55,2. Yesterday I did another interval run and got 54,7. This is the first time ever I got decreased value after an interval training ( which was quite intense - 5.30 min x 3 with 3.45 min/km as an average pace )

                      @rooldaa perhaps your HR was higher than last time?

                            @BrunoH The truth is that out of the 3 watches I have, I only get Vo2 on the Race. But this and the Ocean I use the most and the Ocean (if same as previous FW) needs me to run without the HR Belt to give me reading and I do not run without Belt. The Vertical I have ran 3,4 times and as much hikes without any Vo2 so far.

                              @isazi slightly higher, yes. But training was slightly harder as well. I just have a feeling that algorithms have changed compared for instance to last year. I run quicker this season and focusing more on high intensity running but getting lower values. I don’t know 😂

                                Hello,
                                New pro peak, latest software installed, several runs no vo2 max, no fitness level.
                                Support says to send it back for a check, but it looks like the software has a problem. Have any improvements been made recently?

                                  I have the same problem. VO2 max estimate stopped after the last update in my Suunto 9 peak pro. The app shows clearly the date it stopped and its been several moths since the watch sais its needed to record at least an outdoor run to estimate. I’ve run hundreds…
                                  I dont know if Suunto is working on this, as I see its a common problem for many users.

                                    It is still working here but I had a back injury and didn’t go running or biking from Nov - Mar. but Vo2max stayed at 44,8 so I guess as there was no new measurement it just stayed there. Now it gets new data from running and it changes.IMG_1393.png
