Why Does My Cycling VO2 max not show on my mac Garmin Connect?

After quite some time of running with my Garmin, I have now just recently started cycling with it. Having done 3 or 4 rides, I have noticed that my VO2 max is not showing on the cycling section of my reports on my imac Garmin Connect. It says I have "no data for this period". I totally understand that I am not likely to get longer term data for the cycling yet as it needs to build up but, surely, I should be able to read the "Most Recent" VO2 max data after 3 or 4 rides?

Can anyone help me as to why that information doesn't show?

Thank you.

Are you using a power meter when you ride?

No. I am just using the Forerunner 45 watch.

Having said that, after a bit of trawling through other posts on here, I think (but I am not totally sure) that the Garmin 45 doesn't track your VO2 max for cycling on this watch.

I don’t know if your watch does VO2 for cycling but you definitely need a power meter if it does.

Thank you for your help with that. I will see how it goes and decide whether to get one at some point. :-)
