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.

I read somewhere, that advanced fitness age is available for the Forerunner 945, but not the Fenix.

Mine went from 32 or so to 55.5. I'm 66. But the interesting thing is it says I've reached my 'achievable fitness age'. Does that mean I can't get better? Wouldn't a higher VO2 max lower it? I'm currently…

Appreciate finding out that it should exist on my F6 Pro. Will follow up with Support tomorrow.

If you really want it then contact Garmin Support and ask them where it is.

I read somewhere, that advanced fitness age is available for the Forerunner 945, but not the Fenix. And you have a 945 too, right? So perhaps the data you see in Connect is based on you having a 945?
