Hi, I'm just wondering if anyone has upgraded to Watch OS 8, as I no longer see VO2 Max value after a run.
 
Mine still works. For what it’s worth, I put basically no stock in this calculation, though. I wear my Apple Watch 24/7, including for running and racing. This weekend I ran 68:39 for the half-marathon - not my PR, but not too shabby! Apple says my VO2 max is 60 (which it has not improved this training cycle, despite significantly upping mileage and running workouts). Garmin handles this much better, in my book.

Mine hasn’t recorded a vO2 estimate for the last two consecutive days, has only recorded an estimate since October last year without fail. Thanks for reply James.

60 wow! My goal is to work mine up to around 40….from my current 36😂. But…then again, I’m 61 and my best half-marathon was like 8 yrs ago 113:56. So, I guess I shouldn’t feel too badly about my 36 compared to your 60:)
