Hi! I have done all that is mentioned in previous posts in this community on VO2Max to get my new Galaxy Watch 7 to register VO2Max and send it to Samsung Health. But VO2Max percent still doesn't show.

I have done the following: 1. I've checked my workout screen settings on the Watch 7 for my run app in Samsung Health so that DS1 is enabled and Percent VO2Max is selected; 2. I've run 20 minutes outside on a flat surface with a stable speed of 8 km per hour, with no stops and with GPS active on both my Galaxy 20s and my Galaxy Watch 7. Information on VO2Max for running sessions like this one still does not appear in the information Samsung Health provides about running sessions. What do I do wrong?

In addition, when I purchased my new Galaxy Watch 7, Samsung Health still kept past running sessions made with my previous Galaxy Watch 4 which comprised information on VO2Max. However, when I changed to Galaxy Watch 7 this information disappeared for the very same previous running sessions.

Here are a few additional steps you can try:

1. Check App Permissions: Ensure that Samsung Health has the necessary permissions to access your health data on both your watch and phone.

2. Sync Data Manually: Sometimes manual sync can help. Open Samsung Health on your phone, go to the settings, and try syncing your data manually.

3. Update Software: Make sure both your Galaxy Watch 7 and Samsung Health app are updated to the latest versions.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you need any more assistance.

Thanks for your reply! Unfortunately, Vo2Max still does not appear in Samsung Health summaries of running sessions registered by my Watch 7.  On the DS1 screen in the Watch 7 summary as it appears on the watch once a session is finishen, the Vo2Max percent appears, but it is never included in  the corresponding Samsung Health summary after confirming, on the watch 7, that the summary should be shown in Samsung Healt. All other data frim the watch 7's DS1 screen seems to be included though. I have given all permission I can in the app settings for Samsung Health to import data. But Nottingham helps. The Watch 7 doesn't seem to keep data in it's DS1 screen for a given once the session summary is sent to Samsung Health, so there is no way of going back to the watch for knowing what the Vo2Max percent was for a given session. Possibly, Samsung Health needs more permission for importing Health data such as Vo2Max, but I cannot see where in the settings such permission would be granted. It is somewhat odd that Samsung's own devices do not work smoothly together.
