Why does my watch keep tracking in miles

2191141 over 1 year ago

I have changed my watch settings in the app to metric but every time I go to do a run, my watch continues to track in miles per hour and miles. When I finish the excercise then, it logs through to my watch but the calculation is way off. For example, I ran 4km on the treadmill today and clocked it on my watch and it came to 3.56. When it went through to my app then it came out as 5.65km and set new records and all this stuff. Even though I know i didn’t run that far

I’ve synced the watch to the app numerous times but this keeps happening.

Any idea how to chnage it or make it more accurate

thanks

You don't say which Garmin watch, but on most current watches - Menu > System > Format > Units > verify that all are set to metric units.

Sorry. It’s a Vivoactive 4

Have you tried from the watch?

Hold the back button > System > Units > measurement type > unit of measure

vívoactive 4/4S - Changing the Units of Measure (garmin.com)

Ah didn’t realise you could do that on the watch. Got it changed there. I’ve been fighting with the watch for the last month trying to figure it out. Thanks a million mate
