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 athletic performance and should increase as your
level of fitness improves.
On the device, 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, including your
fitness age. Your fitness age gives you an idea of how your
fitness compares with a person of the same gender and different
age. As you exercise, your fitness age can decrease over time.

While you are sleeping, the device automatically detects your
sleep and monitors your movement during your normal sleep
hours. You can set your normal sleep hours in the user settings
on your Garmin Connect account. Sleep statistics include total
hours of sleep, sleep levels, and sleep movement. You can view
your sleep statistics on your Garmin Connect account.
NOTE: Naps are not added to your sleep statistics. You can use
do not disturb mode to turn off notifications and alerts, with the
exception of alarms (Using Do Not Disturb Mode, page 2).
Intensity Minutes
To improve your health, organizations such as the World Health
Organization recommend at least 150 minutes per week of
moderate intensity activity, such as brisk walking, or 75 minutes
per week of vigorous intensity activity, such as running.
The device monitors your activity intensity and tracks your time
spent participating in moderate to vigorous intensity activities
(heart rate data is required to quantify vigorous intensity). You
can work toward achieving your weekly intensity minutes goal by
participating in at least 10 consecutive minutes of moderate to
vigorous intensity activities. The device adds the amount of
moderate activity minutes with the amount of vigorous activity
minutes. Your total vigorous intensity minutes are doubled when
added.
Earning Intensity Minutes
Your vívoactive device calculates intensity minutes by
comparing your heart rate data to your average resting heart
rate. If heart rate is turned off, the device calculates moderate
intensity minutes by analyzing your steps per minute.
• Start a timed activity for the most accurate calculation of
intensity minutes.

Garmin-Vivoactive-4S

  • Ik verbind bluetooth oortjes met mijn vivoactive 4S. Maar het geluid staat heel hard en kan stiller gezet worden met de vivoactive. Bij het afspelen van het liedje kies is voor de 3 puntjes en dan kan het geluid aangepast worden. Je kunt luider en stiller selecteren maar door de oortjes blijft het even harde muziek...
    ( via de smartphone en laptop lukt het wel, dus het probleem ligt bij mijn vivoactive) Gesteld op 6-10-2024 om 13:13

  • Ook hier sinds gisteren nog enkel een flikkerende blauwe driehoek als ik wil opstarten. Gebruik de Venu als zwemhorloge, meestal ongeveer 1 uur in het water. Het kan toch niet dat een merk als Garmin er gewoon mee wegkomt dat hun waterdichte watches, niet waterdicht zijn en dit probleem gewoon blijft negeren. Geantwoord op 18-2-2024 om 15:22

  • Als ik hardloop zie ik bij mijn tempo een heel hoog getal. Terwijl ik mijn garmin heb ingesteld op km. En metrisch. Ik wil graag zien hoe snel ik op dat moment loop.. zoals bij 6:00 min/km. Ik zie dit nu njet. Als ik na het lopen kijk op garmin connect geeft hij wel netjes de min/km aan die ik heb gelopen. Maar ik wil het graag live zien zodat ik mijn yempo kan aanpassen wanneer nodig
    Bedankt groetjes Bettie Gesteld op 8-1-2020 om 21:26
