VO2 Max not displaying on FR245

Hi, for the past three weeks, my FR 245 has not been recording my VO2 Max, Performance Condition or Training Load. Everything else is normal, the wrist HR records my HR every run, Pulse Ox works just fine, GPS is spot on, and it is even telling me recovery times after my runs, but it won't give me the VO2 data, either on the watch or the app. Any suggestions? Thanks

I set mine to averaged which coincidentally is the same as the custom one. I also noticed it is set at 58 and doesn't change. Anyway, just got back from a run but still no update on vo2max or performance…

I assume your VO2Max and performance condition was calculated correctly in the past but now not anymore.

If so, may I suggest you to manually set a custom RHR (let's say 51) and choose it over the automatically calculated average RHR.

In my case the average RHR setting causes the issues, but there are more parameters that can prevent VO2Max calculations.

We are aware of this as an issue and we do have a ticket opened. It will be resolved via an update. Tomorrow I'll be reaching out to gather more information to add to our open inquiry.

I'm experiencing the same thing. Other strange issue is I ran a 50k trail race on Sunday and my training status was really, really low.

Can we also expect an update for Fenix 6?

Unfortunately my watch isn't showing VO2Max and performance condition anymore.
