Historical data, from recorded running and walking workouts, plays a role in ensuring the
accuracy of your VO2max estimate. The more activities you record with your Suunto 5 Peak,
the more accurate your VO2max estimate becomes.
There are six fitness levels, from low to high: very poor, poor, fair, good, excellent and
superior. The value is dependent of your age and gender and the higher value you have, the
better your fitness level is.
Press the upper left button to view your estimated fitness age. Fitness age is a metric value
that reinterprets your VO2max value in terms of age. Regularly engaging in the right types of
physical activity will help you boost your VO2max value and reduce your
fitness age.
Improvement of VO2max is highly individual and it depends on factors such as age, gender,
genetics and training background. If you are already very fit, increasing your fitness level will
be slower. If you are just starting to exercise regularly, you may see a quick increase in fitness.
5.12. Chest heart rate sensor
You can use a Bluetooth
Ⓡ
Smart compatible heart rate sensor, such as the Suunto Smart
Sensor, with your Suunto 5 Peak to get accurate information about your exercise intensity.
If you use the Suunto Smart Sensor, you also have the added advantage of heart rate
memory. The sensor memory function
buers data if the connection to your watch is
interrupted, for example, when swimming (no transmission under water).
It also means you can even leave your watch behind after starting a recording. For more
information, please refer to the Suunto Smart Sensor User Guide.
Refer to the user guide for Suunto Smart Sensor or other BluetoothⓇ Smart compatible heart
rate sensor for additional information.
See 5.13. Pairing PODs and sensors for instructions on how to pair an HR sensor with your
watch.
5.13. Pairing PODs and sensors
Pair your watch with Bluetooth Smart PODs and sensors to collect additional information, such
as cycling power, when recording an exercise.
Suunto 5 Peak supports the following types of PODs and sensors:
•
Heart rate

NOTE: You cannot pair anything if airplane mode is on. Turn o airplane mode before
