Syncing Activities and Performance Measurements

measurements from other Garmin devices to your 

fēnix device using your Garmin Connect account.

your training status and fitness. For example, you 

can record a ride with an Edge device, and view your 

activity details and overall training load on your fēnix 

device.

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. The fēnix device requires wrist-based 

heart rate or a compatible chest heart rate monitor 

to display your VO2 max. estimate. The device 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 device, your VO2 max. estimate appears as 

a number, description, and position on the color 

gauge. 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.
