Vivoactive 5 won’t change distance from miles to km

I have changed the settings in my connect. It will display my pace in mins/km but the distance is still showing up in miles on my watch. I really need it to show in km as that’s how I train. What can I do?

On your watch - vívoactive 5 Health and Fitness GPS Smartwatch Owner's Manual - Changing the Units of Measure (garmin.com)

That is specifically for pace. I want to change it for distance as well

What are your options after you select Units? Do you only see Pace/Speed? No option for Distance? You might need to swipe up/down to see all the options.

In the app should be More > Settings > User Settings > Measurement Units > Metric

Yes, I have that set as metric on connect, and also on the watch, but it’s still only showing miles for distance on the watch

Hi, I just got the vivi5 watch last week and have the same problem. Settings are on Metric but in activities it's showing miles. Did you get yours sorted? If so, can you tell me how?

Go to settings on your watch by holding the bottom button for a few seconds.

Scroll down to System. Choose Format.Choose units. Change distance to kilometers.
