VO2Max

Will there be  VO2max information as in the old app?

@klrichards   This forum's What's new? thread listed this feature as part of v 4.67.  You might not see it even if you have v 4.67.  Even if you have the latest app version, some features may take time to roll out to everyone.

According to "What's New", yes.

Fitbit App 4.67
VO2 Max (previously Cardio Fitness Score) is now available in the Public Preview app in the Key metrics section of the Fitness tab

It's not showing up for me yet, but they also say "Please note that even if you have the latest app version, some features may take time to roll out to everyone."

I understand even with v 4.67 we might not see VO2 Max. However,  I can see some things about it,  so wanted to check if this is just part of the transition or something else. This screenshot shows VO2 Max as an available tile (accessed via Health tab> Key metrics - Customize> Edit key metrics), but there's no response when trying to add it (not having data doesn't prevent adding tiles):

 This second screenshot shows VO2 Max is not tracked (accessed via Fitness tab > Key Metrics - All Metrics link, scroll to bottom):

Cardio fitness score is active and tracking in old app. I'm using Charge 6, Samsung Note20, and v 4.67 Public Preview app

@sjrily   I have iOS v 4.68 and my VO2 max tile looks just like yours.  I didn't have it at all on v 4.67.  I hope it shows up in a day or two.

@LZeeW Thanks for that! I guess we can assume (rarely the best strategy 😂) it's only partially implemented at this point. If anything changes, post back; I'll do same! 

[LZeeW]

@sjrily   No change today so far.  Baby steps. 😉

VO2 max shows up in the Health tab now (I did not have to go to "customize" and tap the plus icon - I'm guessing it appeared there because I had previously tried to add). 

It still displays "no data," but at least the 'add tab' finally responded.

@sjrily   The Public Preview (and soon to be Google Health app) no longer give estimated VO2max using personal demographics.  You must track new GPS Runs to get a VO2max.

Or enable the link with Apple Health for the appropriate metric if you use an iPhone. The are quite a number of options to get Vo2Max in Apple Health including manual entry.

I requested an manual entry option also in the app for users that cannot create a value by running with GPS for some reason. My values are generated through cycling
