All I know is that mine is 59 from using my watch, is this good at 16?

VO2 max is a measure of the maximum rate of oxygen you can use while exercising. More is good – oxygen is the key to one of the ways the body uses energy efficiently, so the more oxygen your body can use, the less it has to rely on less efficient anaerobic energy sources.
59 is a great number, but keep in mind that smartwatches aren’t going to be perfectly accurate for these kinds of measurements – unless they come with some sort of gas-measuring mask accessory to compare your oxygen intake with your oxygen exhalation, they can’t directly measure your oxygen usage, so they have to go for workarounds and estimate based on what they *can* measure – usually this will be either based on your heartrate or the amount of distance traveled in a certain amount of time.
