Hello,

After changing my apple watch to
Another one , after service, my cardio fitness stopped working.
Any advise how to configure that? Pairing again?

The new watch will take a week or so to re-learn your movements. You will get a new reading after a while.
 
I thinks there is something wrong, because there is no data source:

I made a lot of cardio and still no results.

The data source shows up when the first entry is made. So that’s normal until the watch calculates Cardiofitness for the first time.

I'm experiencing the same and I've seen quite a few people on reddit having the same problem without any immediate fix from apple so far. I tried the following with no success.

1. Unpair/pair watch - even set up as new watch (wait a week with more than 5 outdoor walks/runs)
2. Reset Calibration data + add a manual value (wait a week with more than 5 outdoor walks/runs)

I think there must be bug as it can't be a hardware issue (it's just algorithmic calculation).
3rd party apps seem to be doing ok calculating VO2 max (Athlytic - used the free trial for a week).

I guess there must be a very specific sequence of steps that make things work or it is just random.
I still see my old apple watch as sources (aw4) but not the aw7. I've also had aw6 for a month and it never recorded a value although I didn't do much running during that period of time, just tennis.

Hopefully someone in the forum has gone through the same pain and can give some solution.
