Just bought the série 6. I have been using it for few days now. I’m looking for the measure of the VO2 max but no data so far... I train exclusively at my place doing HIIT work out. Can I get access to the VO2 max measure doing such training? Just did 45’ walk this afternoon but still no data. Any idea? Thanks. Christophe
Maximum heart rate multiplied by .70 = 70% of your maximum heart rate and it is the minimum number of heartbeats per minute that the watch needs before it will track Vo2Max and record a reading.
This hearbeat measurement must be kept up for at least 20 mins and must be constant.
Apple quotes the figure to measure Vo2Max from 70% up to 85% of your maximum heart rate so I used the lower measurement as a bare minimum in which to get a reading.
Also the watch needs a fair bit of previous workout data before it will record a VO2max reading,I've never been able to find out how much data that should be but it seems that the watch needs this data as some sort of comparison or calibration data.
Only three workout types can produce an estimated Vo2max on Apple Watch: Outdoor Walk,Outdoor Run and Hiking.

Thanks for the swift reply!
ok so walking is not an option since I cannot reach the 70% threshold. My HIIT sessions would work from time and heartbeat prospective, would it be an option to select the walking or running option on the watch during my training?
