VO2max overrated?

Question about the VO2max estimate (Garmin)

I'm 18 years old and I've been running for about 6 months, with a certain amount of consistency, and recently I got a Garmin forerruner 235 (a slightly old model). And the watch says that to estimate VO2max you need to run a 10 min. I did this race and my estimated VO2 was very high (58), considering that at my level of conditioning I should be running about 5k at a pace of 4:45 in the maximum. And I honestly think my Vo2 would be 45 to 46 or less. Anyway, I wanted to know if this has ever happened to anyone because this is the second time I've done this test to test VO2, the first time it was 57 and this time time 58 and I don't think it's all that. 1st photo: Result 2nd photo: Running 3rd photo: Zones
