VO2 max is not updating

Hello Everyone

My Fr245 estimate my Vo2 max the first day that i used it. But after a week with a lot of run activities longer than 20 minutes and with a HR above 70% of maximum heart rate. no update

Anyone know how to solve this? i've tried a lot of things but havent got an update of the vo2 max.

Thanks for your suggestions.

    Your vO2 Max improves slowly... It can take weeks or months to see an improvement.

  • Thanks for answer.. Maybe I didnt explain myself.

    When I see the history of vo2 Max in connect app or webpage only appears the data of the Last Sunday (August 23) The watch hasnt estimate again My vo2max in any other run activities. 

    For this reason, I have "No Status" in Training Status, and is not showing information of 'Performance Condition' in the run activities. I can only see information of 'Performance Condition in the activity of August 23th.

    This is why Im saying that the vo2 Max is not updating. I dont care if the watch estimate again the same value of vo2max, but it isnt calculating anything. 

    Thanks again for the answer

    I have same issue several months ago, and I found this solution. My Vo2max updating after following solution in the link and run outdoor twice

  • Thanks JohanHRF, I will try again that solution. Maybe I did something wrong last time

  • UPDATE I have my watch working fine the last week.

    I'm gonna tell all the steps I did (Maybe it's not necessary all of them) This can help somebody with the same problem.

    Sorry for any mistake in my English.

    1. Restart the watch in system settings (Erase the data and reset the configuration)

    All your previous activities will be available and safe on your Garmin account. Don't worry

    2. Erase the device of your list of devices on Garmin account ( I did this in the Garmin connect web)

    3. Clear all your personal information in your Garmin account (Date of birth, Age, Weight, Height)

    4. Uninstall the app of your phone (Optional - Maybe this is not necessary or required)

    5. Download again the app and log in (Again, this is optional)

    6. The watch after the reset it's gonna ask you the language, your age, weight etc., 

    7. IMPORTANT: when you are making all the initial configuration again of your watch, it's gonna ask you if you want to activate PHISIO TRUE UP --> you have to unable this item...... Answer NO to the Phyisio True UP

    8. Sync your watch with your phone

    9. Go outside and do a run activity, and this work for me (VO2 max updated - Performance Condition working)

    NOTE: I did this the first time and it works, after that i Turn on the Physio True UP option, for be able to see the previous history of my activities on the watch. After that i did again many run activities and the watch doesn't calculate again the vo2max, Training status, Performance Condition, etc.

    I finally have to repeat al the steps, reset the watch, unable the TrueUp option  (and never again I've turned on), and it's just work fine, my watch has estimated the VO2 max in all my run activities, its showing me the Performance Condition and Training Status.

    I Hope this could help somebody.

  • Definitily that solution doesn't work for me but finally I got a solution!
