Miles vs Kms Setting

Former Member over 7 years ago

Confused.... maybe too easily sometimes!!

So in SETTINGS, DEVICE SETTINGS, SYSTEM I have set my Distance as MILES

However, all of my Activities are showing as Kms.... any ideas?

Double check the settings on the App as well just in case...?

Sorry AJ, should have been clearer.... its on the APP that I have done the above.... is there somewhere on the watch as well?

EDIT - just checked my Watch...
SETTINGS, SYSTEM, UNITS - that's also set to MILES

Yes, the web Connect site overrides what you have in the app or device. Check in 2 places:

Your profile and the settings for the device.

AJ - Genius!!! Do you have a Direct Support Line? :D

I had the Garmin Connect on PC in Metric and even though the Phone App and Watch was set to miles, it ignored it.

Thanks pshare - I see that now.... bit poor really, but I guess all software has its quirks!!
