VO2max cycling

Hello,

can some one tell me if the VO2max is updating when I’m cycling. I see two VO2max data on my watch, but it s always the running one that appears!

Cycling VO2Max is only available if the watch is paired with a power meter. I don't own a 245, but I thought the 245 lacked this feature? Where are you seeing the two separate VO2Max fields?

On user data

I believe this is just the default screen for the Connect mobile app for watches that support this feature. I know you have to be connected to a power meter for cycling VO2Max. Looking at the specs for the 245, this is not supported with that device. It's on the 745, 935, 945, Fenix and MARQ series watches.

Ok thanks.

I see that the watch can be synchronised with a bide speed sensor and a bide cadence sensor. Does it help to measure the VO2max ?

No.
