Apple Watch VO2 max recording

My Apple Watch 3 series, not recording VO2 max in my health app on iPhone 8. Any recommendations please?

Reset the fitness calibration data.


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

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

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


Then go for a 20 minute outdoor 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.
