Getting Your VO2 Max. Estimate

The device requires wrist-based heart rate data and a timed 15-minute brisk walk or run to display your VO2 max. estimate.

  1. From the Garmin Connect™ app, select Menu symbol > Performance Stats > Training Status > VO2 Max.

    If you have recorded a 15 minute brisk walk or run, your VO2 max. estimate appears. The device updates your VO2 max. estimate each time you complete a timed walk or run.

  2. Select Help > How to Get VO2 Max.
  3. Follow the on-screen instructions.
    A message appears when the test is complete.
