Distance in metric, weight in pounds

My device allows me to enter my weight in pounds, and have distance etc in metric. Connect seems to insist that I have weight in kg if I use metric for distance /speed.
I had hoped that the revamp would fix this, but it seems not.
Am I missing something? Is there a way to see my weight in pounds, and distance /speed in metric? Garmin, can you fix this if not?
**Can someone move this into the right place? I didn't expect it to end up in the FAQ section **

You can mix units in the watch settings, but not in Garmin Connect. People have been complaining about this for at least 10 years, but Garmin doesn't seem to care.

You can try to submit an idea here…

Trying to make Garmin notice us, I created a post for the same problem :

It's kind of embarrassing when I share my runs with my sister, who use a Samsung watch and Samsung health, that i can't change my distance in km without messing my strength training weight and my weight/height.

Would it be possible to have the option of a hybrid unit option?

In the UK we use both Imperial and metric units for different things.

feet/inches for user height, but metres for elevation.

Celsius for temp, not Fahrenheit.

A mix of stones/lbs or kg depending on use preferences

Miles and mph, not kilometres & kph

In the USA we measure open water distance in meters/KM not Miles and I want to enter my weight in pounds. When I go to Ireland to train (again everything is tracked in meters.KM not miles) and other countries they too use KM. So I feel your frustration.

This seems like such a simple fix. Obviously, someone thought about it when designing Garmin's watches. I would expect the web app to be more feature rich than the watch. Please fix this, Garmin. It's really unacceptable, especially given how long people--your paying customers--have been asking for it.

I took a couple of years off from Garmin because I bought an Apple Watch but now I’m back. I’m shocked and disappointed to see this is still an issue.
