Just synced a swim WO of 1700 meters. Garmin Connect/Express reported the distance as 1700 yards. I had to manually edit the WO to reflect meters. Getting unit of measure right is a no brainer.
Garmin is huge into aircraft and nautical navigation. It's scary to think that Garmin can't accurately transfer distance unit of measure from their hardware to their software. Imagine being in an airplane that automatically changes meters to yards. You going to land considerably short of the runway.
Or is it that athletes don't deserve the attention to detail as is given to those other areas?
Garmin 910XT firmware 3.0

Garmin Express V3.3.27 - Although my Garmin Express is set to automatically download and install updates that didn't work either. While looking for the software version number I told the software to check for an update and discovered there's a V4. Updating as I write this.
