Fitness Age

Was an independent Fitness Age widget (not the V02 max measurement) supposed to be on the Fenix 6 Pro after the recent update. Only had the watxh 10 days, wondering if I have missed toggling something.

    Have a look on GCM or GC interweb - Health stats

    Not seen fitness age as a widget on the watch itself, VO2max widget doesn't give that detail (but do like how it gives projected times for races distances). Would be nice if it included it, but not really a major issue for me.

    On connect (app or web) it does of course provide you age under the VO2 max details. This makes sense its there as that is how it derives it.

    And of course also has your actual age on your user profile.

    Were you thinking of something else?

    From an FR245 update article. 

    And finally, the fitness age estimation has also been improved and you can no longer be 15 years younger than your actual age, sadly. 'Fitness age' is calculated using chronological age, activity, resting heart rate and BMI or body fat percentage.

    What I feel about fitness age:

    Oprah: You're 20 years old! You're 20 years old! Everybody's 20 years old!

    As stated look under Health Stats in GCM or GCinterwb for fitness age.

    Not in either GCM or web. I just see it in the V02 max.  I understood it was a separate item now.

    For what ever reason, not everyone with a fēnix 6 series watch is seeing these menu options in Garmin Connect Mobile or Garmin Connect Web. I have a fēnix 6X. There are other threads about other menu options that only some fēnix 6 series owners have.

    In Garmin Connect Mobile [for Android] the only place I see Fitness Age quoted is Performance Stats > VO₂ Max where I am 28!

    In Garmin Connect Web the only place I see Fitness Age quoted is in Reports > VO₂ Max where I am 20!

    Using Garmin Connect Mobile for Android version 4.43 and Garmin Connect Web version 4.43.2.0, 21.12.0.124.

    For some of us, clicking trough the link View Your Fitness Age  (which I've just discovered actually) takes you through to a setting under Health Stats that has Enhanced Fitness Age. This new calculation takes into account your BMI (provided you have height and weight entered), amount of vigorous activity and resting heart rate. If you don't have that link then you won't get to see your enhanced fitness age: you'll have the fitness level of a 20 year old, which I must admit being 64 I prefer to the new enhanced fitness age of 58!

    As with the discussion some while back about Blood Pressure, it might not be available for all on GC either mobile or interweb for some reason. If you want to know why you can't see Enhanced Fitness Age contact Garmin Support

    If you bought Fenix 6 you, automatically, are 20 years old! (c) Garmin, 2019

    You know , it’s only you beta testers and other highly ranked staff that can see this. Long time ago you told us about the Blood pressure, should have shown up now, but as with the Blood pressure, no fitness age either. Not that it’s bother me , i am still 32 regarding to the ios app.
