Watches estimate it from heart rate and pace. Fine at group level, but the individual error can be big.
- Watch the trend rather than the number itself
- Heat, fatigue and a wrong max heart rate setting all skew the estimate
- For a real value you need a lab test with gas analysis
What VO₂max is and isn’t: VO₂max: not the whole story.
Anyone compared their watch with a lab test?
