If connected GPS is not available, you have to manually calibrate your watch before you can

walk/run for 15 minutes and get your fitness level estimated, see 3.22. Speed and distance

calibration.

After a successful calibration, your watch is able to provide an estimation of your fitness level

for all running and walking workouts.

Your current estimated fitness level is shown in the fitness level display. From the watch face,

press the lower right button to scroll to the fitness level display.

NOTE: If the watch hasn't estimated your fitness level yet, the fitness level display will

instruct you further.

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 3

Fitness, 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 are dependent of your age and gender and the higher value you have, the

better your fitness level is.

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.

3.13. Instant HR

The instant HR display provides a quick snapshot of your heart rate. The display shows your

current heart rate.

To view instant HR:

1. From the watch face view, press the bottom right button to scroll to the instant HR display.

2. Press the lower left button to exit the display and return to the watch face view.

The daily HR display provides a 12-hour view of your heart rate. This is a helpful source of

information about, for example, your recovery after a hard training session.

The display shows your heart rate over 12 hours as a graph. The graph is plotted using your

average heart rate based on 24-minute time slots. In addition, you get your lowest heart rate

during the 12-hour period.

Your minimum heart rate from the last 12 hours is a good indicator of your recovery state. If it

is higher than normal, you probably are not yet fully recovered from your last exercise.
