Question about Training Status widget

For VO2 max it shows as unavailable and that I need to run 10 min with HR to get it. Does that require chest HR? I've done runs with the built-in wrist HR on and I show a VO2 max in the Connect app.

    Mine was showing and I don't have a wrist HR. But I disabled it, wrist HRs are too innacurate to even dare estimate VO2 max

    I have the Fenix 5 and its been pretty accurate so far compared to when I use the HRM RUN strap. Not the far out at all. Only use the strap for the welsh of other stats if gives if Im honest.
