VO2 level Intermittent recording of

looking at my Vo2 in my app it has only recorded intermittent results, maybe 1 or 2 a month. Even though I have been out on the bike quite often. Iv recently replaced my iwatch 6 and my 14 pro is upto date, and it is still the same. Any ideas why my vo2 leaves don’t record each day or each time I exercise?

iPhone X, iOS 16

If your health app's VO2 Max measurement is displaying intermittent results, it's essential to investigate the potential causes behind this inconsistency. One likely reason for this issue could be the lack of a proper connection between your smartwatch and your iPhone or in-frequent usage of your watch during workouts. Let's delve into these possible explanations in more detail:


  1. Connection Issues: Watch Pairing: Ensure that your smartwatch is correctly paired with your iPhone. If the pairing is incomplete or disrupted, it can lead to irregular data synchronization between the devices.
  2. Inconsistent Workout Tracking:
    1. Frequency: If you only use your watch sporadically during workouts, it might not be collecting enough data to provide accurate and consistent VO2 Max measurements. Try to make a habit of wearing your watch consistently during exercise sessions.
    2. Workout Types: Different workout types contribute to VO2 Max calculations differently. Ensure that you are using the appropriate workout mode on your watch to track the specific activities you engage in regularly.
    3. Intensity: The accuracy of VO2 Max measurements can be affected by the intensity and duration of your workouts. Ensure that you are engaging in a variety of exercise intensities to obtain a well-rounded assessment.
  3. Battery Life: Low battery levels on either your watch or iPhone can disrupt data synchronization. Ensure that both devices have sufficient charge before starting a workout.


By addressing these potential reasons for intermittent VO2 Max measurements, you can work towards a more consistent and reliable tracking experience in your health app. Remember that accurate data is crucial for monitoring your fitness progress and making informed decisions about your health and workout routines.

Thank you for all the information you have sent but unfortunately I don’t think any of the suggestions are the problem.

  1. The watch is paired with the phone correctly ie. Info displayed on my watch is displayed on my phone, maps while on a bike ride.
  2. outdoor cycling is enabled on my watch.
  3. I cycle approximately 15 miles each time I’m out at a relatively fast pace.
  4. I use my watch all the time apart from when it gets charged at night.

I will include a screenshot of the last few months.


thank you in advance for any more help you can give.
