No training status or VO2 Max being recorded

Hi everyone,

My epix 2 is not recording VO2 Max data and I have no training status. I run three times a week and meet the requirements for VO2 Max data to be recorded.

I have had a look on Garmin Connect (web version) and added in an image of the page showing the results.

I have done a reset of the watch to default settings.

Does anyone know if there is anything that can fix this please? I have contacted Garmin but no response yet.

VO2max increasing/decreasing is based on your performance condition - effectively requires +20 performance points to increase VO2max to next percent - so it can take quite a few activities to adjust your…

only garmin can fix this as this is either a watch issue or a server issue on their side. Can you see this data on the watch/app/web? If on none then watch issue; if on watch but not on one/both of others can be watch or their servers.

I have same problem. My training status is mantaining, but Vo2 max measurement (not that I care too much, but it's nice to see) is not improving at all.
I have example two runs that were done on the exactly same route, one from today and one from about month ago. For both I also checked Vo2max score recorded in fit file by Fit File Repair Tool app. Today run: HR avg 145, pace 4:56/km, Vo2max 60.44, run from month ago: HR avg 147, pace 5:11/km, Vo2max 60.46. Not sure if Garmin team care about this forum, is there possibility to report this as a software issue?

VO2max increasing/decreasing is based on your performance condition - effectively requires +20 performance points to increase VO2max to next percent - so it can take quite a few activities to adjust your current VO2max.

Would suggest reading these support links re VO2max, and if you still feel there is an issue would suggest raising a support ticket, which is a much faster way of getting garmin support to pick up on an issue, than hoping they will see this post and act on it.
