Displaying Cycling VO2 Max on watch?

Am I missing something, or is Running VO2 max only displayed on the watch with the only way to check Cycling VO2 max is through connect app?

While I do both and I like to monitor running VO2 max, my current focus is improving cycling VO2 max so would like to be able to view this on watch.

Is this possible using standard functions, or do I need to install something 3rd party (which I'd prefer to avoid, as previous experience has seen increased battery drains).

Should have added, watch is Epix Pro. Thanks

The VO2 Max displayed in the training status is the most reliable/recent VO2 Max. Running trumps cycling, which trumps walking in Garmin's order of priority. In theory, if you don't get a running Vo2 Max for about 30 days, the cycling Vo2 Max will replace it until a new running VO2 Max becomes available.

You can see both VO2 Max in the performance widget on the watch.

That's perfect, thanks - was viewing VO2 max via Training Status widget, which displays running only. Have added Performance widget and can now see both.
