It's a number, and (imho), a fairly pointless one when delivered by a watch interpreting pretty dubious data. If you're feeling good about your running, ignore it, and if you're not, ignore it anyway :-)

Seems watches can be inaccurate regarding vo2max, especially the wrist sensor type..

Would just go by how you feel and what you are achieving as you go on..
