Selectable Units of Measurement for temperature, distance and weight

I'm sure there must be other people like me out there. I'd like to be able to have...

temperatures in °C
distance in miles
weight in kg

This doesn't seem to be an option as you have to either choose metric or imperial.

The weight graph in lbs is completely meaningless to me as I've always used kg, but living in the UK I think in miles for distance, but we use mostly the Celsius scale for temperatures (F means nothing to me either).

I can't imagine it would be that hard to implement separately selectable units for weight, temperature and distance for those of us who don't fit neatly into a 'metric or imperial' box

Cheers

I agree. Although in my circumstance (Canadian), I think in km, Celsius and pounds. Would love to have the option to pick the units for each individually.

Can you give an exact example of a place in Garmin Connect where it doesn't already do that? There may be a setting for it.

Totally agree, there is always at least one that just isn't right for me!

I'm in the UK and have my weight in stones & pounds (set in the weight tab on GCM), Speed & Distance in MPH & Miles & temperature in Celsius (UK Statute setting)

OK if you go to your profile and choose measurement units it gives you three options...

Statute UK
Statute
Metric

If you choose statute UK or Statute you get distance in miles, but weight in lbs and stone

If you choose Metric you get weight in kg but distance in km

I can see no other way of changing it.

Yes on the mobile app I can display my weight in kg, but I'm talking about Garmin Connect website, which has a lot more functionaliy.

settings from the app transfer to GC, thankfully as on connect weith imput for me would be by pounds & not stones

Where, exactly, do you get distance in km?

If I change my units to metric, then it changes to km for all courses both on the mobile app and my bike computer. (Edge 25)

I have a Fenix 6. I can customize units as asked about above. But if you go to Garmin Connect - Account Settings - Display preferences, then the field "Measurement Units", it changes the unit type for all criteria (Golf distance excluded).
