Apple Watch cardio fitness/Apple watch VO2 max inaccurate?

I am finding that my most demanding work-outs receive the lowest cardio fitness ratings (never mind my swim work-outs that don't even register-my biggest beef). My easiest walks provide data for the most impressive VO2 max results! LOL

Is there a logical explanation for this?

Any word on when Apple Watch will include swim work-outs in the VO2 max calculation?

Sorry, but only Apple knows if and when new features are added to the Fitness App.

Until then, only Walking-, Running- and Hiking Outdoors, using the default Workout App, will give you an VO2max estimate.

You can tell Apple directly about your wishes for future watchOS updates by using the Feedback link:
