About VO2 Max. Estimates
VO2 max. is the maximum volume of oxygen (in milliliters) you can consume per minute per kilogram of body
weight at your maximum performance. In simple terms, VO2 max. is an indication of cardiovascular strength
and should increase as your level of fitness improves. The Descent G1 watch requires wrist-based heart rate or
a compatible chest heart rate monitor to display your VO2 max. estimate. The watch has separate VO2 max.
estimates for running and cycling. You must run either outside with GPS or ride with a compatible power meter
at a moderate level of intensity for several minutes to get an accurate VO2 max. estimate.
On the watch, your VO2 max. estimate appears as a number and description. On your Garmin Connect account,
you can view additional details about your VO2 max. estimate.
VO2 max. data is provided by Firstbeat Analytics. VO2 max. analysis is provided with permission from The

Getting Your VO2 Max. Estimate for Running
This feature requires wrist-based heart rate or a compatible chest heart rate monitor. If you are using a chest
heart rate monitor, you must put it on and pair it with your watch (Pairing Your Wireless Sensors, page 125).
For the most accurate estimate, complete the user profile setup (Setting Up Your User Profile, page 143), and set
your maximum heart rate (Setting Your Heart Rate Zones, page 146). The estimate may seem inaccurate at first.
The watch requires a few runs to learn about your running performance. You can disable VO2 max. recording for
ultra run and trail run activities if you do not want those run types to affect your VO2 max. estimate (Activities
and App Settings, page 68).
1 Start a running activity.
2 Run for at least 10 minutes outdoors.
3 After your run, select Save.
4 Press UP or DOWN to scroll through the performance measurements.
