Galaxy Watch@jsbjoey To measure V02 max you need to record a workout.
To record a workout:
- Open Samsung Health on your watch
- Scroll down and click on Exercise
- Click the Walking icon if you are on the treadmill. After you get done, stop/end the workout. For Rowing, you will need to click the + icon and scroll down to it.
After you complete the workout:
- Open Samsung Health on your watch
- Scroll down and click on Workouts this week
- Click the workout that you completed.
- Scroll down and you will find the V02 max reading

Galaxy WatchAlso, here is an article from Runners World explaining how GPS is utilized for VO2 max measurement on watches. https://www.runnersworld.com/gear/a20856601/can-your-watch-estimate-your-vo2-max/
I agree that VO2 max is in itself independent from GPS, but that is normally measured in a lab type setting with a face mask. Watches get around this by using all available sensors to create an estimate based on exertion over a given distance & time while moving over a flat surface.
It is hard to say why Samsung did not include VO2 with cycling as Garmin allows this, and Apple does as well after WatchOS 9. All I can say on that is that VO2 estimation will not be there if the data has not been recorded with accuracy by the vendor to make those estimations.
Samsu.g doesn't have much info on the topic but I found a good community forum that touches on it.

Galaxy WatchIt's available in the walking workout. Others have said it requires GPS to help with its calculations. That being the case, might also expect it might be in the biking workout. Not sure about others, but definitely in Walking one.
