One thing I can’t quite figure is if you are not doing a specific exercise to the T is whether your VO2 remains accurate.

Example: I do interval running, which the Watch just records as a run. If I am not running for part of it (i.e. a 1-minute rest interval), is the Watch actually capturing the right info to calculate my VO2?

Wouldn't simply starting a HIIT-workout on the watch solve this?

To me, interval running and HIIT is not the same. I mostly think of HIIT as something done in a gym with a kind of strength/cardio focus, not endurance? But also, even if my run or bike ride was a HIIT, I still would like my normal data / setup for that activity.

i would imagine it depends if you keep the watch recording or paused during the rest part

I’m using Intervals Pro, so it’s unlikely that it’s pausing it.
