Hi,
My apple watch and Whoop show completely different vo2max readings. Which one do i calibrate to?
Ideally you would take a lab test and check which one is more accurate. For me the Whoop estimate is pretty close but you’ll need to run with GPS on once a week because it needs the power output to calculate.
If you do get a lab test you can also put that as a manual entry and Whoop will take it into account.
@KunalKhilani You in Boston? We can run a VO2 Max test on you at our HQ. We have a lab where we run tons of tests everyday. I can’t comment on the accuracy of Apple… but I will say that we run tons of V02 Max tests in our Labs our HQ so…
It worked for me as well. I did a test (before that, the Whoop rating was significantly too low), and since then, the Whoop estimates seem reasonable.
Of course, only a lab test can give you 100% certainty.
Hi Durkin, how does it work to go to the HQ?
Hi @oliviapp, thanks for the note. I connected with the team internally. We run VO2Max tests at period times in our lab. Unfortunately we aren’t running one currently. However, there are other WHOOP Lab Studies you can sign up for here: WHOOP Labs | Participate in a Research Study . The WHOOP Labs building address is One Kenmore Square Boston, MA 02215, right near Fenway Park. Hope that’s helpful!
