training status do not have VO2 Max trend data

Hi,
does your Forerunner 955 watches also have a VO2 MAX issue? The point is that I have estimated VO2 Max and in the application on the phone (mobile application) the current value is displayed (from the last estimate) and when I go to the tab showing the graph from the last 4 weeks, the trend is also visible. On the other hand, on my watch, only the last estimated value is shown (it is consistent with the value from the mobile application), but the trend is not shown to me. As a result, the "training status" does not function as it should.

I don't know how relevant this is, just to add that vo2 max was estimated based on walking, not running or cycling. Does "training status" take into account vo2 max estimated from cycling or running only?

Below are pictures from the mobile application and from the watch

In garmin connect, it shows changes by a full point unit and on the watch you have an increasing or decreasing trend between values.

955 w/firmware 15.19.

Mine shows 4wks on the watch. It's using running for the 4wks, but I also have a cycling VO2 which is actually higher than my running. I think it uses/displays whatever your most recent activity was (i.e., running, cycling).

I didn't know you could get a VO2 estimate from walking.

I confirm. The vo2max trend is only estimated for running and cycling

Why then do I have a VO2 Max trend shown on the mobile phone app? is this some kind of misunderstanding or mistake?

What is more not everyday I have VO2 Max estimated as I should. According to Garmin website: I can get VO2 max from all day heart rate:

"Watches announced after April 2017 that feature an optical heart rate monitor are capable of generating VO2 max from all-day heart rate data. VO2 max generated from all-day heart rate will only show if you have not generated VO2 max from another source above, unless the all-day heart rate VO2 max is better than VO2 max generated from other sources."

So even I do not have registered walk activity I still do not have estimated VO2 Max.

What is more on website app (connect.garmin) in reports section I also have VO2 Max trend, but not in watch.
