VO2 max not recording

My Apple Watch periodically stops recording VO2 max. It last recorded it on 26 October, and I have recorded many outdoor walks since then, but no VO2 max. Software up to date on phone and watch. This has happened before a couple of times and I know that unpairing and repairing the watch will fix it, but that wipes all Apple Pay info, which is a pain to set up again in the teeth of reasonable suspicion from card providers. It’s clearly a bug, and it would be nice if Apple fixed it properly. In the meantime, anyone else had this and found a neater fix than unpairing and repairing, please? Thanks.

If this was a common issue (as you suggest a bug), it would be happening to lots of people. But it's not. Since it is happening to you, there could be an issue with the sensors on your watch. Do you by chance have wrist tattoos? If you do, this could be your issue as ink under the sensors can cause issues, such as you're seeing.

I would suggest you schedule an appointment at your Apple Store Genius Bar to have your watch checked out.
