Vo2max

On the morning walk my maximum hart rate was 142 minimum 80 so vo2max must be 142/80*15,3=27,16 but Apple Watch calculates 23,5 why?

VO2 max very low in new watch I just bought an Apple watch series 8. And it’s VO2 max reading was showing 19.8. Which was even before using for a recorded outdoor walk or any exercise. After the first outdoor walk of 3kms in which my max HR was 110, it went down to 18.6! My resting HR is 72 as per watch. And I’m 43. Read in some places that it doesn’t even show unless you do an outdoor activity but it was showing even before that and after the first day of use, where I almost completed all 3 circles of activity, it went down even more?! What’s the logic and it seems faulty.

Mobility metrics on Apple watch It’s recently come to my notice that my Apple Watch does not measure the walking speed when I’m not doing a workout. The ‘source of data’ is always my iPhone. Though my watch does measure the ‘pace’ on a workout, I don’t understand is something wrong with my watch or is it an Apple Watch thing? Measured by IPhone: Double support time walking step length walking speed measured by watch: Stair speed up/down

vo2max during football I have a query regarding vo2max that Apple Watch records post simple activities such as walking. I play football(soccer) and sometimes even after the match 90+ mins, apple fails to record vo2max and then reports my vo2max as very low when I take evening stroll later in the day. How do I fix this and capture my real vo2max and not when apple wants to measure it
