VO2 - cardio fitness - Apple Watch

when I work out - I use the elliptical setting on Apple Watch. For some reason it does not feed data into the VO2 tracking for cardio fitness. Any ideas

Why doesn't my SoleFitness elliptical workout count towards the move goal in the Fitness app without an Apple Watch? I do NOT have an Apple Watch but a SoleFitness elliptical. Workout gets created and even shows in the fitness app under sessions with calories but does not count towards the move goal? There is no speed info transmitted so it can’t be that I’m moving too slow. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

VO2 Max won't provide data I am doing 30-minute walks using the Workout app on my Apple Watch 6. I'm getting no data to show up. I've tried everything that I've seen online - walking with phone in airplane mode, then with watch in airplane mode, etc. All settings are correct. Is there anything else I should try? this is very frustrating and the VO2 Max was one of the reasons I purchased the watch.

Thanks!

I guess what I will do is check outdoor walking and still do the elliptical and see if that works.

Much appreciated.

You only get a VO2Max figure from outdoor walking,outdoor running and hiking.
