What happened to VO2 max?

Former Member over 5 years ago

Ever since the last couple of updates, VO2 max seems to have disappeared. First, it didn't update, even when I told it to. Now, it appears to be gone completely. It's no longer even listed on the activities menu where it was before. Is this a glitch? Did it move somewhere I can't find it? I'm using a vivosmart4.

What do you see when you go to Menu->Performance Stats->VO2 Max? Select 4 week view and post screenshot of that page.

I've been going back and forward with support regarding this for the Venu 2. Keep getting fobbed off saying the activity did not meet the requirements, however my activity level/intensity has not changed. No point posting last 4 week view as nothing is updating. but here is my 12 week view.

Also tried to update via the watch on 2 occasions. Nothing!!!

It would be interesting to see an activity that should give a VO2 max but didn't. Could you post a link to an activity?

Max 198 in Garmin Connect

Thanks. That looks good. It should work with Walking even though it is "better" with Running. You got lots of time with over 70% of max heart rate.

I see that you are running a beta version of the software but the VO2 max didn't work with the previous software either so that might not be it. There are no reports of issues with VO2 max for the beta.

Do you have a link to one of the activities that gave you a new VO2 max value?

Any easy way to find what activity updated Vo2max? Pretty much every walk would calculate and pop up on the watch after recording stopped.

That last activity was a dog walk but had to run every so often to make sure my heart rate was above 70% even although this never mattered in the past.

Best way is probably to view the VO2 max graph for 4 weeks and swipe back to one of the last values. Hold with your finger on the value to get the date. Check the activities for that date to make sure you only got one activity so it surely was the activity that added the value.
