Have you lost your VO2Max in a watch crash?
-
@BrunoH Yeah just noticed I don’t have it as well. After the update it’s not showing anywhere.

@tomasbartko I did a factory settings reset this morning. For the last couple of hours I’ve been watching “This is taking longer than expected. Thank you for being patient” screen and animation. Let’s see…

I had this yesterday too. This message did NOT disappear by itself for 7 hours. I pressed upper button for 12 seconds and then the Vertical came back with a message that en error was fixed (1609?) and on the old firmware. I had to install the new firmware again. A very strange thing …

@BrunoH I don’t really want to do a factory reset because of custom sport activities. But let’s see how it works out for you, fingers crossed.

@BrunoH So I did a 25m test run (my back will thank me) and VO2Max was again visible. Apparently it’s not calculated for walking/hiking, but only for running (?). It also says Running VO2Max in the watch, so it would make sense. Any luck with your watch?

@tomasbartko I received today detailed requirements from the support.
- Walk and run modes are supported
- GPS and HR tracking must be uninterrupted and perfect quality
- HR must remain at least 8 minutes in zone 3 or higher.
- GPS quality requirement is especially important if there are no prior measurements (this applies to my case now that I did the hard reset)
Good work support! I’d like to see all these explained in the user manual or FAQ. In depth explanations would make support’s life easier.

@BrunoH oh nice, good to know, thanks! So I guess in my case it’s because I was not in zone 3, at all. I’ve had no idea about that.

@tomasbartko my problem is quite the opposite. My wreck of a body goes to z5 in under five minutes and it is hard to keep going for 8 mins being that exhausted.
And I have had bad GPS fix sometimes in the beginning of the exercise. I’d better let it settle first.
-
I have been getting vo2 max readings under “walking” activity and i do not get my hr in zone 3 so I’m no sure what support is taking about.
-
@gone-troppo They are talking about getting the first VO2max estimate after full factory reset. Back in the old sw (and with my old S9B as well) I saw VO2max value after every run or walk no matter how bad quality the data was. The watch was probably showing the previous measurement.
-
@gone-troppo weird, because I did not. Only for running.
