@hgavert
Just out of curiousity… what kind of heartrate zones are you using?
Zone 5 has an upper-lower difference of over 40bpm while zones 2, 3 and 4 barely have a difference of 9bpmYeah, I’ve wondered about those too, but since I’ve not had the time to get into the specifics of this watch… those are autogenerated by the watch from the max HR, which btw, was something that I was trying to get on that first run. So, currently my max HR is that 187. If I remember correctly, S9 asked to set the zones automatically based on the max. (Or maybe it was Movescount… but I think the watch).
-
@hgavert It is in the watch. if you enter your max HR, it asks you if you want to adjust your zones automatically.
I don’t know what model Suunto has based it’s zones on, but you can always adjust your zones manually if you like. -

Thanks, that was interesting read! I will try that test maybe next summer if my foot allows me to run. However, I went back to the watch and toggled the max HR and finally when I found the clear or default settings, then it changed the zones to something more reasonable. Still based on the max HR of course.
-
@hgavert Your zones are clearly off. Zone 5 is for interval efforts, most cannot maintain HR in zone 5 for very long. For an setting based on effort, Zone 1 you should be able to converse easily, and talk as long as you want. Zone 2 you will need to breathe more and that will interrupt conversation some. Zone 3 a sentence, Zone 4 a couple words and Zone 5 is difficult to speak at all.
-
In theory you cannot stay in zone 5 for more than 5mins without throwing up

Hi!
After the first time is vo2max calculated with all sports or just with walking and running? -
@ink357 just walking and running activities.
-
@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 -
The watch is not a new, i wanted to try the new functions. Now i’ll make a hard reset with all new settings

To get VO2max you need good HR readings and a bit of effort (go to zone 2+ ) from my experience
-
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 !
-
@ink357
it’s a great disadvantage that sport mode customization is not stored and backed up in SA! -

I have just done calibration today. So I have not tested this yet. But will let you know results mi week.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 ?
