Apple Watch VO2 max in hilly locations

My VO2 max estimation on Apple Watch was consistently around 50 until I moved to a hilly location. Now I walk and run on hills every day, and am objectively much fitter, but my VO2 max has significantly dropped by around 7 points.

Does the watch struggle to measure VO2 when in hilly or not flat locations?

How can I measure accurate indoor running distances using my Apple Watch? Some times it’s correct (sort of) usually it isn’t. I ran 1.55 miles according to my treadmill. Watch reported 1.02 Yet when I went to health and see walking and running distance, it is correct. Other than walking from bedroom to basement, this are the only steps I took. Health reports as 1.5 miles. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Discrepancy in how Apple Watch compares Walking Speed data with Walking Exercise data I work out by walking on a treadmill in the basement of my apartment building. Yesterday my Apple Watch Series 10 recorded that I'd walked 33 min and gone 2 miles. A little arithmetic shows that if you go 2 miles in 33 minutes you're walking over 3.6 MPH. But for Walking Speed my Apple watch says that my range yesterday was 1.8-2.8 MPH. This is a large discrepancy -- 2.8 is about 22% less than 3.6. I realize I can recalibrate my Apple Watch, but the recalibration appears to require walking *outdoors* for 20 minutes and using the Watch's GPS. (Note: the Watch has always had accurate details about my age, height and weight.) And in any case the recalibration seems unnecessary; if the Watch accurately recorded my treadmill session it knows I averaged 3.6 MPH during the workout, so it ought to use 3.6 MPH as the upper limit of my Walking Speed -- not 2.8 MPH. Is there any way to minimize the discrepancy between how the Watch displays Walking Speed data and Walking Exercise data? I love all the data my Apple Watch gives me, but this glitch baffles me.
