Fenix 5s plus VO2 max

Former Member over 4 years ago

Hi,

Since 2nd Dec the VO2 max has not updated on my Fenix 5s plus. I don't mean my personal VO2 max hasn't changed, I mean the reading is showing my VO2 max was last updated on this date.

I walk about 6km every day (with GPS on) and run occasionally too; the last update was on a day I ran, but usually it would update after every walk or run.

I haven't changed anything or tinkered with the settings - any suggestions please?

Thanks in advance x

there is an mess, after firmware 14

True up does not work, vo2 max does not work, i have also an Edge 1030, and never ever both tell me the same parameters, i like the watch but now i regret that I did not but Apple watch

I remember reading from somewhere that the VO2max algorithms puts really much weight on running compared to walking (since running VO2max is so much more accurate). That's why the watch starts ignoring walking as a VO2max source, if you have enough recent running activities.

(And as a side note, I've had no problems or any changes in VO2max recording after the 14.00 firmware update. I don't use True up or several devices, so I cannot comment on those problems.)

I am sorry , I was not specific, Vo2 max is sync across two devices , I have increase yesterday from 49 to 51 VO2 MAX , as I was in detrained status for more than one month, so I can confirm again that VO2 Max is sync

But not Training Status and Training Load.
