Vo2 Symbol missing in menue

Good Morning Suunto Community,
Where can i find my actually Vo2 max Measurement in the Race? In the Vertical i find it as a widget! Where is this gone on the Race? Its a good indicated number in a watch as the race and it would good to have it somewhere… I missed it.

Egika

@GiPFELKiND you find it in the CTL widget when you scroll down.

Maybe read the manual: https://www.suunto.com/de-de/Support/Produktsupport/suunto_race/suunto_race/widgets/fortschritt/

@Egika Thank you i had nothing there yesterday, cause today morning calibrating the watch while first running with it. Now i see it

Eddy De Backer

@Egika I don’t see either the vo2max or the age in the CTL-widget. I walked three times, long enough, but nothing to see, either in the app nor on the watch. I did a hard and a soft reset, nothing helpend. I only see CTL and ramp rates in the widget.

Egika

@Eddy-De-Backer Go running!
The metric is a max value, so you need to add some exhaustion to the measurement.

Eddy De Backer

@Egika Unfortunately my health does not allow me to run. Maybe longer walks?

Egika

@Eddy-De-Backer I doubt it. But then for your use case a VO2max value is of no added value anyway…?

Eddy De Backer

@Egika ok thanks

@Eddy-De-Backer perhaps you can track a “fast as you can” walk with the yellow running workout selected? I dont’t know if there has to be a ‘minimum speed’? Perhaps @Egika knows? I am not a fast runner (normally between 7’00 and 8’00 min/km for most of my runs) and I get a VO2 max and an automatic lactate threshold measurement

@ChrisA @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos I’ve been using my SR for almost a month now. I have taken 5 walks where the activity in SA indicates VO2max. However, I do not yet see a VO2max appearing in the training zone and in the SR. Is this normal ?

@Eddy-De-Backer so bad suunto Bring a new watch and is unable to FIX DAMN some knowing Problems… Same Like the new Vertical Firmware, 6 month of waiting on a update and 1!!! new watchface… No baro graph on solar version etc…

GiPFELKiND

@Eddy-De-Backer Perhaps this will need time again 6 month to fix it?!

Eddy De Backer

@GiPFELKiND indeed tomorrow i will contact Suunto, maybe return it, exchange it for another SR

I’m also not getting any Vo2 max data even though I’ve done several max intensity bike rides. When I’m wearing the HR strap I get to my max hr at high intensity, the watch hr doesn’t even get close. Max HR is 190 but the watch seems to have trouble reading my intervals.
Anyway , i get a CTL reading of 60-63 for the last 4 weeks but no other data on that widget.

@Santana-Hakuba-Kikstra VO2max is only supposed to work on run and walk activities. It has never been there for bike rides!

I said “supposed to work” because now it’s disappeared from my Vertical completely.

Eddy De Backer

@Santana-Hakuba-Kikstra I contacted support, I presented the problem, also for the SV users. The lady, Sofie, immediately passed it on to the right team. She is going to send me an answer by email. I wonder if I’ll ever hear anything. But so as already is said, VO2max is only for walks and runs.

@Eddy-De-Backer thanks!

The absence of baro graph on the Solar version is not a bug it is by design. You may ask for this to change but that is how the watch face is designed. If you need a watch with more watch faces perhaps Garmin, Apple or Coros would be a better choice for you.

@Eddy-De-Backer
Do activities that use GPS signals continuously for 20 minutes or more and the HR value must be at 70% of MaxHR. It is recommended to use the Running basic activity mode.
#This is what Suunto Thailand recommended to do, Let’s see if this is work for you.

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

Hi all. First of all. The vo2max tag in the activities has nothing to do with actual vo2max measurements. It means you did a good effort depending on your zones.

Second only run activities produce vo2max.

Third you need a couple of activities to get and estimate.
