Cardio Fitness doesn't have Apple Watch as a data source

You only need to turn off the “powersave “ mode of training app on watch and take a training. It should work.

There is no mystery. The watch will not show up as a source for any data field until the first time it actually writes data. That's just the way it works.

Ok finally got it to work!

You have to do at least a 20mins Outdoor Walk or Run/hike. Only these 2 workouts types will work as your Apple Watch needs to calibrate. Be sure to have your gps/location enable for your workouts.

Oh and also for those who don’t have Apple Maps installed (like myself) be sure to get it as well and loc enabled before starting. Took me 2 workouts to figure out why it’s not triggering.

I think the problem, at least for me, is the cardio fitness shows no data source. Nothing. Other areas of the health app show old devices as their data source but my new watch isn’t listed and no way to put it there that I, or the Apple advisor, could figure out. I guess I’ll wait this out and hope for a new update that fixes this. Really is annoying to have so much excitement about this feature all over the internet and three advisors I spoke with never heard of it, let alone know how to fix it.

I cannot find the cardio fitness on my watch series 3 I have scrolled own the notifications page but it is not there, I have found it on my phone 12pro but of course no data.

Both watch and phone have latest versions of OS

I have my four previous watches listed as data source in cardio fitness. My new watch is not there. Also there is no ability to edit the order as there is in other areas of the health app. There are no "change order handles." So 1) my current watch is not in the list and 2) can’t change the priority of data sources. Surely someone at Apple can address this?

I've done outdoor workouts. I've done every possibe thing you can think of. From erasing my phone and watch, unpairing and pairing, on and on, and the fact remains that some metrics in the health app have no data sources, some have the wrong ones, some have the right ones. Some allow for editing the order of devices as propietary data source, some do not. It is MESSED UP. And it wasn't with my old phone and watch.

October. Lots of workouts. This is my 5th watch. I know how it works. The data source in cardio fitness has the other watches. Not the new one. No way to add it. Now way to edit it. Advisor was clueless.

Correct. I have VO2 Max data through the end of September then nothing. There are my five previous watches listed as data source and access. The new one is not there. It IS listed in other areas like exercise minutes, heart rate, steps etc. I had to rearrange the order to put the new watch on top. But in cardio fitness, the new watch isn't there at all nor is there any editing function to rearrange the devices.

I don't think so. Apple had me doing everything imaginable but I don't remember that. I had to take the phone back to factory settings. So I would unpair, then when pairing not use the back up? What will that do to any data or info? Bad enough I had to reinstall my credit cards in the wallet twice already. Setting up as a new watch, I'm not clear what headaches that may cause?

I'm going to wait until after Christmas to work on this further. I thank you for all the help. So much about this issue makes no sense to me, like why my new watch shows up in so many areas of the Health app, but not others like cardio fitness. And why my husband's watch has zero data now in the walking asymmetry metric, something he needs, when it use to be there. It seems to me the updates to phone and watch may be the problem. But clearly, what do I know??? Oh, and yes, the credit card issue SHOULD simply require the security code unless you have my bank, which requires a long menu, and then someone to verify two previous charges on the card, among way too many other things, a process that takes way too much time.

Same problem with me. Several outside workouts (walks and runs) and no data. My current Apple Watch is not listed as a source at Cardio Fitness tab. Using iPhone XS and Apple Watch 5, both running the latest os (iOS 14.3 and watchOS 7.2).

Apple has already said that high intensity workouts are NOT a requirement for Cardio Fitness data and my data started showing up with far less intense activity. I think it is much more likely that it simply takes a period of time before the data starts showing up and that whatever activity was done was simply coincidental,.

I am having this same problem, just bought a new series 6 watch and have an 11pro.

Cardio Fitness has no data.

According to to new update, running/walking outdoors shouldn't be necessary for activating the data.

When will apple fix theres F up?
