Hi everyone. On Nov 01 2025 my vo2 max calculator on my Apple Watch has stopped working. I checked everything that the wise Apple folks have told me to check. Voila still nothing
this changed I think after an Apple Watch update
i walk 40 minutes daily and nothing.
any suggestions?
Apple Watch Series 8, watchOS 26
If you are using the default Outdoor Walk workout, your watch should record VO2 and sync it to the Health App.
In case you can not see your VO2 in the Health App, erasing the watch and paring it again as a new device, without using the latest backup helped other users. You will lose your created watch faces and will have to add you cards back to the wallet app on the watch.

...Also ensure you record your walks using an outdoor walk workout.
Make sure your 40 minute workout shows as 40 minutes on the exercise ring, if not then your walk pace may not be sufficiently brisk.

Nice. Exactly what I had until Nov 01. Then nothing since. Had the update on the watch about that time. Pretty frustrating
I have the same update. It's jot the update's fault.
You didn't confirm re-pairing as New, ie without backup.

Also are you getting sensible move Calories?
Thanks for the advice. Checked all settings. Then proceeded to unpair wipe the watch and reinstall the watch paired to my phone. After three walks nothing still. Very frustrating. I guess I will need to get another product to get my vo2 max. Apple Watch no longer does bo2 max for me since latest update. Very frustrating
This is me, iphone SE3, Watch SE 2, walking around 12 min per km
