Workourdoors app

Hi,

for tracking activities I used Workoutdoors apps on my 14 pro and apple watch 7. I noticed that when I finished, for example, outdoor running, data from workoutdoors are not the same in Firness app on iphone. Today, workoutdoor measured 7,15km distance, in fitness app that is 6,69km. The second, in Health app VO2max is not recorded also. Yesterday, I done reset fitness calibration data and after walk over 20 min it recorded. But today, after running, not. Why I reset yesterday; because, from august last year I haven’t recorded that parameters. I read some posts about this problem and It seems that all settings are Ok. What you suggest to do?

If you can’t find any VO2 max readings in the Health app, that is probably because you have not yet logged the right kind of workouts with your watch. It can take at least 24 hours of wearing your Apple Watch, followed by several Outdoor Walk, Outdoor Run, or Hiking workouts and passive measurements with your Apple Watch before you receive an initial estimate. It has to be one of those 3 workout types. VO2 max relates to maximal exertion. So you’ll need to log a pretty intensive workout to generate a reading. And you’ll need to sustain it for at least 20 minutes.

The first (and simplest) thing to try if something isn’t working right is to restart your Apple Watch and its paired iPhone. If necessary (device not responding), try a forced restart. Both methods can be found here:

If that doesn't help, the next steps would be to unpair and pair your watch again and restore from the backup just created. This should result in no loss of data. It deletes all temp and corrupted files and re-indexes the file system.
