Bit of V02 Max Nastiness!

I had already seen my watch tell me that my V02 Max was poor. But today I look and see that there's this nasty little statement:

"Your fitness age is 79 or older. That's the bottom 5% for your age and gender."

Is that new? Or have these watches always added insult to injury like that? Notice it can't just say "79." It lets me know it could be "older."
