Apple Watch 6 - No Vo2 Max data

Hi,

This is my first Apple Watch - Series 6 and it's been a great experience so far. The one thing which is troubling is I am not getting any Vo2 Max data being recorded. This is despite doing a number of Outdoor Walks with an average time of 30 mins for each walk. According to the notes, this should be sufficient to record the Vo2 Max. When I check the Vo2 Max Data Sources, there is nothing listed as a source.

I've ensured that both the Watch and iPhone 11 Pro are running on latest 7.0.1/14.01 updates and both have been restarted, with no avail.

I've seen this reported as an issue on the older Apple Watches.

*EDIT* - I can now see other people reporting the same issue with a similar setup as mine. Quite disappointing that Apple has a major bug like this..

Mine was recording fine until I had to do a restore to get my gps and other data back in sync.

It stopped recording at that point.

I have got it back working it would seem by resetting the fitness calibration data

From your iPhone>Watch>Privacy>Reset Fitness Calibration Data>Tap this

you just get a confirmation box that tells you that your metrics will not be as good if you to this.

Tap confirm and do it. You will get nothing else, no confirmation but it is done.

The go for a 20 minute run or walk using the workout app at your normal speed on a flat road/path etc

this will re-calibrate the watch.

The next time you do a workout (not this time) it should show your V02 max

That is what worked for me.
