My Apple Watch stopped tracking my cardio fitness level around August of 2021 according to the health app. I don’t remember changing any settings and now I can’t figure out how to fix it so it can start tracking it again. Can someone help?
I can only suggest first you check your details are complete and correct in Watch app, My Watch, Health, Health details as it needs these to calculate.
and preferably 'Mirror my iphone 'is turned on.
I assume you have been getting activity rings?
If the above does not help then the next activities are procedures for naughty Watches in general.
First force restart the Watch
i.e. press and hold both the side button and Digital Crown for at least 10 seconds, then release both buttons when you see the Apple logo.
Then Force Restart the paired iphone Force restart iPhone – Apple Support which may not be an obvious thing to do.
If that is no help
Unpair and erase your Apple Watch
and then
If no better you may want to unpair then set up without restoring the backup.
You may also want to make sure the software on the watch is up to date.
If you've completed that troubleshooting and the issue is still not resolved, Contact Support.

Hey LD150. Thanks for the response. I ran 2 to 3 times a week all during spring and summer of 2022. None of them were tracked. I will admit that most of the runs were through the Nike Run Club App. There were a few times I used the apple fitness app when NRC on phone wouldn’t sync with my watch. Either way, none of them were tracked in cardio fitness.
Cardio Fitness will only calculate if you are on outdoor walk or run workouts. Have you changed workouts to different ones or indoor ones?
By the way you will need to let it build up data for a week or three before it calculates cardio fitness
My activity rings are closing so that’s working. I’ll try the options you suggested and proceed as necessary with Apple Support if the watch refuses to comply. Haha. Thanks and Happy New Year!
You're welcome, good luck.
