Vo2max, MHR too high, MHR too low?

I’ve been wondering..

if we disregard from the actual accuracy within the Vo2max.
let’s say I have a low Max heart rate setting compared to my real one. Will I have a higher or lower calculated Vo2max?

And the opposite, if I have a high MHR setting compared to my real one. Will I have a higher or lower Vo2max then I should?

I noticed around the Webb that many people let Garmin decide automatically their MHR, and I guess, if you don’t do a reeeaaallly hard MHR test, the watch just take a high reading from a “normal” run. Which probably wouldn’t be accurate for your absolute MHR.

Any thoughts?
