Accuracy of cardio fitness predictions with beta blockers

I feel it is inaccurate when on beta blockers are listed as a medication. Can Apple comment how accurate the results are?

In the absence of any comments, I wd like to turn off this feature. Can this be done?

VO2 estimates are just that, not predictions or measurements.

Nobody here can comment on how medication or medical conditions affect fitness estimates on the Watch

Apple Watch should not be considered a medical device. If you have a condition requiring beta blockers then consult a doctor before working out.
