Training Status Unavailable

Hi,
there is sth strange for me.

My GF has got Edge 830, Polar H10 HR sensor and cadence &speed sensors on her bike. (no power meter)
She also trains spinning classes with her Venu 2S watch + Polar H10. (neither cadence nor power monitoring)

And she gets "Traning Status" on edge 830. (below screenshots from her 830)

I've got Edge 1040, Garmin HRM Pro sensor, cadence and speed sensors on bike.
I'm also attending spinning classes where I record activities with Quatix 6x or Edge 1040
(+ HR from HRM Pro + cadence from builtin spinning bike sensor)

And unlike my GF I dont get Training Status.
(below screenshots from my 1040)

Why? Where is a difference?
She uses Venu 2S for spinning classes and Edge830 on a bike.
I train with Quatix 6x and ride with Edge 1040.

I guess that it is because she gets VO2max from spinning classes with Venu 2S
or maybe sth else?

Thanks in advance

Blurred The suggestion from iheathcock is correct, in that you must have a VO2 Max value on your 1040 to get any training status information. VO2 Max on cycling products does require a power meter.

This seems to confirm my understanding and what I see.

1) you need power meter and HR (both). I do notice in winter on a bike without PM that I never get VO2 updates.

2) you must have at least a good 20minute section where you are pushing hard. Good 20 minute steady climbs (3-6% gradient) are good for this.

I can’t answer why you GF got a result, but I do know many Garmin watches give VO2 results for runners etc, or clearly don’t have power meters

More information on Training Status and the requirements that must be met can be found in our FAQ here.

She got VO2 result only from Venu 2s with HR (Polar H10) training spinning class.
How its possible?

The Garmin watches do give a Vo2 result. They don’t need a power meter. The Garmin Edge Cycling computes do need a power meeting. So she got it because she had the Venu 2s. Your Quatix should also do, but not sure why it has not triggered. Probably because it didn’t see enough data. For your Garmin Edge to do this you need a power meter.
