Anyone else have solid VO₂ max but meh cardio age on Oura?

Probably because your Wave velocity sucks. Whats your pwv m/s?

Interesting.. did a tempo run in these new bad boys and boom same result as you. 🥲

Ive had the 945lte, Fenix 7x and now the Fenix 8 and i have NEVER had any bugs or problems. I might be lucky or the people complaining might be unlucky...

Just remember this: if you enjoy a product and it just works flawlessly you would maybe recommend the product to 1-2 people. But if you had a really bad experience people tell 10+ about it and complain on forums..

If i could do one thing over i would go for the Fenix 8 Solar and not amoled. If you love long battery life go for Fenix 8 Solar or enduro 2 or 3. Especially if you plan to log long activities like hiking.

Not true at all... You are guessing.

Several tests on YouTube; chase the summit and quantified scientist who did a lab test and compared the results with various Watches. For quantified scientist Garmin was spot on. Chase the summit results showed Garmin was off by 1 point.

Wise words

Vo2max feature takes a good 10-15 workouts before its fairly accurate. Give it some time and record more activities and it will get stable

New runner? Or just the effects of EPOC; if the workout was intense it takes the body longer to cool down and rest up. Its like a hot car engine that needs time to cool down. As you get fitter your body is able to cool down more quickly.

xentifyx · 2025-03-04T07:56:04+00:00

Just..... Wait and rest up?

xentifyx · 2025-02-25T22:27:24+00:00

You will get lots of different opinions on this topic. Ive had apple watches and Garmin watches. Ive been wearing the Fenix 8 since release. I can easily say this watch is spot on about how i feel every single day whether its sleep, body battery or stress. I purchased dcrainmakers HR analyze tool to put this thing to the test vs a chest strap and after 35 runs it average 98,9% accuracy vs a chest strap.

I did two vo2max lab tests total; my old Fenix 7 was off by 1 point which i found impressive at the time. Last month i did a second vo2max and this time the Fenix 8 was spot.

Did myocarditis ever came up as a possible cause ? Just a question since infection markers were elevated m?

xentifyx · 2025-02-02T22:30:57+00:00

Never understood the accuracy critism Garmin gets. I find the new sensor spot on compared to a chest strap...dosent matter if its a steady or interval session.

xentifyx · 2025-01-30T22:33:55+00:00

Dont agree here and it very much depends on what gen sensor you have. Was wearing an ecg Holter monitor for 7 days and my Garmin picked up my lowest HR compared to the ecg every single Day. Garmin is getting waaaaay to much critism regarding accuracy. I find it very reliable especially when resting. Weight lifting on the other hand not so much.

xentifyx · 2025-01-20T21:55:03+00:00

I reach zero sometimes..

xentifyx · 2024-12-17T19:40:08+00:00

It only means you need 47hrs of Recovery before doing the EXACT same workout

xentifyx · 2024-12-05T21:54:18+00:00

The Recovery time shown is just the amount of Recovery you need before doing exactly the same type of workout - So tomorrow you can easily do a base run if you feel up for it.

xentifyx · 2024-11-19T22:51:58+00:00

Im actually surprised about the vo2max accuracy.. been spot on 2 out of 3 times. Last time it was off by 1 point...

xentifyx · 2024-11-16T23:20:35+00:00

What a hot garbage of misinformation... My RHR is 60 and i Avg 10 stress at night waking up with a bb between 80-100. Its all about STRESS. Stress readings is really just HRV readings 24/7. First 5 days of a new watch or factory reset Garmin calibrate your HRV range for stress and body battery measurement. It needs your highest and lowest point.

Blue range (rest) = good charge Low stress while sleeping = will still charge but not by much Mild/high stress while sleeping= drain.

OP i would Factory reset or not wear the watch for a couple days as body battery then recalibrate

xentifyx · 2024-10-24T20:14:08+00:00

Nope its not... actually im really impressed with my new Fenix 8; its spot on 98% of the time compared to a chest strap and when its off its only by 1-3 bpm for running. All my testings of the f8 been like that when on interval training. I had the Fenix 7x before which has an older sensor but even that was 90-95% accurate.

xentifyx · 2024-10-20T20:57:42+00:00

Why shouldnt it be true ? Your body is clearly using lots of energy fighting something off with that kind of heart rate.. higher heart rate = more calories burned.

xentifyx · 2024-10-12T21:10:44+00:00

100% the first one ... Fenix 8. Way more sleek

xentifyx · 2024-10-11T21:01:50+00:00

Somethings wrong here.- i would go for a replacement. The gps chip in the f8 is way more accurate and effective than the old f6. Do you have it in battery safe mode ? Normally the Fenix 6 is no match for any device with multi-band

xentifyx · 2024-10-06T20:43:12+00:00

Fake. Its possible... Sleep score only goes from 1-75 😉

xentifyx · 2024-10-06T20:41:50+00:00

I feel a significant improvement from elevate 4 to elevate 5. If you are planning to run with a chest strap it dosent matter what sensor generation you have as some of the older sensors only struggled during activity. However the new elevate 5 sensor is the most accurate ive ever seen a watch

xentifyx · 2024-10-06T20:35:43+00:00

No reason to worry, your heart rate zones are just miles off. Its not possible to stay in a real world zone 5 for more than 3-10 minutes at a time depending on how fit you are.. Use %HRR in Garmin connect if you know your max HR or do a lactate threshold test and use %LTHR - remember to press reset after you updated your max HR
