VO2Max no longer tracks

My new series 8 watch stopped tracking my vo2 max suddenly. I purchased the watch about three months ago and have had no problems. Two days ago it just stopped tracking. All other metrics are fine. I’ve cleaned the back, repaired, reset the calibration, all with no success.

VO2 Max stopped recording, tried everything I regularly use my watch to track VO2 max and sit has completely stopped. I’ve tried everything including recalibrating, restart, full system reset. It refuses to track anymore. BUG.

VO2 max not recording My Apple Watch periodically stops recording VO2 max. It last recorded it on 26 October, and I have recorded many outdoor walks since then, but no VO2 max. Software up to date on phone and watch. This has happened before a couple of times and I know that unpairing and repairing the watch will fix it, but that wipes all Apple Pay info, which is a pain to set up again in the teeth of reasonable suspicion from card providers. It’s clearly a bug, and it would be nice if Apple fixed it properly. In the meantime, anyone else had this and found a neater fix than unpairing and repairing, please? Thanks.

New Apple Watch 8 will not record VO2 max Everything in phone and watch privacy, motion and fitness is turned on. Fitness recorded is outdoor run. Path health, browse, cardio followed. Last VO2 max score is from old watch December 2020. Please don’t repeat information that tells me the above hasn’t been done. This is an advertised watch feature that doesn’t work.

Are you still doing Outside Run or Outside Walk workouts?

You would need to do mostly outside runs to get VO2 tracking
