My approach s20 keeps reverting to metres

Why does my s20 reset to metres? This is consistent behaviour nowadays, and seems to happen every time it syncs with iPhone app.

My garmin app and golf app are both set to yards

i realise this is similar question to another but the garmin response to that was that no one else was having the issue! That’s not true.

Havent read an response anywhere other than that either, by the way I am having the exact same problem.

I have everything set to yards in all the apps and it reverts within seconds

Try making the change on Garmin Connect Web under display preferences - https://connect.garmin.com/modern/settings/displayPreferences

Global settings, such as these, are maintained on the web and tend to overwrite the settings on mobile. Make sure global settings are maintained there and then they should populate to Garmin Connect Mobile and your device.

I have the same problem, it resets to meter when I charge it and/or sync it. I use Metric for anyother thing other than golf, Golf Distance Unit is set to yard in Garmin connect and Unit of measure is set to Metric. My guess is that garmin connect resets it to meter even if I choose yard for golf.

Also use it for activity and activity setting keeps turning off.
