I did look through the settings just now to see about turning off VO2Max in the Trail Run screen but couldn't see anything which matched with the internet instructions. "Turning Off VO2 Max. Recording Hold UP. > Activities & Apps > Trail Run. Select the activity settings. Select Record VO2 Max. > Off."

larkim Sep 2021 12:15pm, 14 Sep 2021 15,388 posts	0 larkim Just going through some tests online with Garmin and they asked me to put it into test mode:- Power off device Hold the Down key Press and release power button (while still holding the Down key) to put in test mode Press the Back key 8 times Would be of geek interest to some!

HappyG(rrr) Sep 2021 1:30pm, 14 Sep 2021 39,687 posts	0 HappyG(rrr) I did post that POST (not really poor on self test, more diagnostics mode prev). For mine you can cycle through about 20 tests. One shows the barometric altimeter - if the baseline pressure number is fluctuating madly then its goosed. Geek heaven. G

gt Sep 2021 2:14pm, 14 Sep 2021 2 posts	0 gt Has anyone found that the sleep tracking thing is a bit rubbish on the Fenix 6 since Garmin did the latest software update? Mine's gone from being somewhere in the mid 80's to low 90's range down to being consistently in the low 70's!
HappyG(rrr) Sep 2021 2:27pm, 14 Sep 2021 39,690 posts	0 HappyG(rrr) I've just seen "breaths per min" under health stats on VA4. How the feck does it know how many breaths I'm taking?!
Badger Sep 2021 2:28pm, 14 Sep 2021 14,170 posts	0 Badger Been sketchy for me for ages, since it went to the on-device calculations. Don't remember if that was in 16.70 or betas since then. It gets start and end times pretty well but thinks I'm awake much more than I actually am. I was in touch with the F6 beta team and sent them a pile of data, but it just seems as though what they've changed makes it work better for a lot of people, less well for me.
