Well, you\u2019re not alone. It seems the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2\u2019s VO2 Max calculations are failing for \u201ctrack running\u201d sessions despite good GPS coverage, pace, and activity time.<\/p>\n<p>According to a user <a href=\"https:\/\/r1.community.samsung.com\/t5\/samsung-health\/%ED%8A%B8%EB%9E%99%EB%8B%AC%EB%A6%AC%EA%B8%B0-%EC%B5%9C%EB%8C%80-%EC%82%B0%EC%86%8C-%EC%84%AD%EC%B7%A8%EB%9F%89-%ED%99%95%EC%9D%B8-%EB%B6%88%EA%B0%80-%EC%98%A4%EB%A5%98-%EC%88%98%EC%A0%95%ED%95%98%EC%84%B8%EC%9A%94\/m-p\/40084458#M26764\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">report<\/a> on the Samsung Community forums, the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 is encountering an odd error when calculating VO2 Max. The user shared screenshots showing that their watch was not calculating or displaying VO2 Max readings after logging a track running session.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_ti\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"watch ultra 2 track running screenshot 1 highlighted\"  alt=\"watch ultra 2 track running screenshot 1 highlighted\" src=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/watch-ultra-2-track-running-screenshot-1-highlighted.jpg\"\/>Highlighted region is the VO2 Max error message (in Korean)<img class=\"e_ti\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"watch ultra 2 track running screenshot 2 highlighted\"  alt=\"watch ultra 2 track running screenshot 2 highlighted\" src=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/watch-ultra-2-track-running-screenshot-2-highlighted.jpg\"\/>Highlighted region is the VO2 Max error message (in Korean)<\/p>\n<p>We translated the screenshot with Google Translate to see the error displayed in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/samsung-health-update-sleep-running-coach-strava-3722966\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Samsung Health app<\/a>. Apparently, the app thinks the user did not run for at least 10 minutes at speeds of 4 km\/h or more in an area with a good GPS signal. However, based on the data in the screenshots, the user ran for more than 10 minutes at speeds well above 4 km\/h. The user also states that the GPS signal was not spotty.<\/p>\n<p>Surprisingly, the Watch Ultra 2 is reportedly able to measure VO2 Max data for outdoor running sessions. The user shared screenshots of their outdoor running logs from the Samsung Health app, and their watch has calculated a VO2 Max value for those sessions.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re also facing a similar issue with your Galaxy Watch Ultra 2, you can rest easy. A moderator has already responded to the user\u2019s post, stating that Samsung developers have confirmed the issue. The company expects to resolve the glitch with a future software update. However, the moderator did not provide an estimated timeline for the update.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Paul Jones \/ Android Authority Add Android Authority on Google: TL;DR The Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 is facing&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":658656,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[330,85,46,1523,13309,99845,125],"class_list":["post-658655","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-gadgets","tag-gadgets","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-samsung","tag-samsung-galaxy-watch","tag-samsung-galaxy-watch-ultra-2","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/658655","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=658655"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/658655\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/658656"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=658655"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=658655"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=658655"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
