NOTE: If the watch has not estimated your fitness level yet, the fitness level widget 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 9 Peak
Pro, the more accurate your VO₂max estimate becomes.
There are eight fitness levels, from low to high: Very poor, Poor, Fair, Average, Good, Very
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.
The widget also views 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.
NOTE: 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.
6.7. Sleep
A good night's sleep is important for a healthy mind and body. You can use your watch to
track your sleep and follow how much sleep you are getting on average.
When you wear your watch to bed, Suunto 9 Peak Pro tracks your sleep based on
accelerometer data.
To track sleep:
1. Go to your watch settings, scroll down to Sleep and press the middle button (or activate
sleep tracking from the sleep widget).
2. Toggle on Sleep tracking.
3. Set the times for going to bed and waking up according to your normal sleep schedule.
After you have defined your bedtime, you can choose to have your watch in Do Not Disturb
mode during your sleeping hours and also choose if you want to measure your Blood oxygen
during your sleep.
Step 3 above, defines your bedtime. Your watch uses that period to determine when you are
sleeping (during your bedtime) and reporting all sleep as one session. If you get up for a drink
of water during the night, for example, your watch still counts any sleep after that as the same
session.
