Is there a way to turn off VO2max calculation while walking?

Record your slower walks with your dog without using the walk or run app.  Selecting "Other", "Hike", or "Trail Run" won't calculate VO2max.  The "Other" app is perfect for this situation as you can set up the data fields to record the same as your walk profile. I have 3 dogs I walk daily and this is what I use as the 1st is elderly and moves like pond water, the 2nd is stop and go because she's getting ready to have surgery on her cruciate ligament and a 3rd that pulls and takes me for a walk. 

Tks, I am doing that, or mostly just not turning it on, but wanted to use walk for walking for recording walking time and maps, etc, silly me right? Its lowered my VO2max quite a bit now so I stopped using it. My 14yo husky/German shepherd used to be pulling on the leash up mountains, now I'm walking as slow as I can and sometimes carrying him up stairs..

I feel for you. They truly are like our children. I have a 13yo Golden Retriever and she has difficulty trying to stand from a lying down position.  She's the matriarch of my bunch and being treated as a queen in her final days.  

Its tough to watch, and though he was always a healthy dog, gets expensive spoiling them in old age with a joint injury. Having to lift and carry him a lot more is the only thing that has really gotten me to see a negative for larger dogs, but at least he's dropped to 95lbs from his 125 and has given up struggling when I carry him upstairs as a break!

Hi! But perhaps while walking accounted for VO2max???

Yes. VO2Max is calculated using the outdoor run and/or walk app and during cycling if paired with a power meter. 

Hi! If I have enabled "Walking" without external sensors, it is not taken into account? I read the instructions and found nothing about walking.

I'm not sure what you mean about "enabled" walking. But I found out the hard way if you start a walking activity, if its over a certain length it will calculate a VO2max, which I think is kind of silly anyways. So if you take a slow walk with your older relatives or dog in my case, it will down rank your VO2max afterwards.. I had done this quite a few times before realizing...

Так что, если вы прогуляетесь со своими старшими родственниками или собакой, в моем случае, это снизит ваш VO2max впоследствии

Even without a Power sensor, for example, or a chest strap? Just a watch on your hand?

I only use the watch, yes. It was giving me a constant demotion of 1 VO2max every time I logged a walk of sufficient length with my elderly dog. I walk him daily and try to give him enough exercise so do walk a few miles with him some days, not sure on the exact length needed for watch to do this..
