Cardio fitness not setting up

I followed all instructions to attempt the set up cardiofitness on my Apple Watch and there is still no data. What am I missing?

There won't be any data until;

Apple says;

Your Apple Watch gives you a cardio fitness ESTIMATE by measuring how hard your heart is working during an outdoor walk, run or hike.

VO2 max relates to maximal exertion. So you’ll need to log a pretty intensive workout to generate a reading. And you’ll need to sustain it for at least 20 minutes.


Tighten the watch band a touch and clean the sensors on the bottom of the watch..


Reset fitness calibration.
