My units are in Kilometres, but when I set a run target distance it changes to miles?

I have always run in kilometres and have all unit settings in kilometres. When I run I usually set a target, eg. 5k or 10k.
recently the Pace and Distance data screens have been displaying these in miles.

Does anyone know how to change it? I have checked my unit settings in my phone and watch and both read Kilometres. When I look at my auto lap settings this is also in miles.

There are several menu entries for units. There is distance, pace, etc etc. Make sure you set each one to your preferences.

Change your preferences in Garmin Connect to miles, and sync it to the watch. Then change it back to kilometres and sync again.

This should overwrite any mixed settings.

Yep, that does it.

Be aware that you have to change your settings for laps as well (for each activity that has laps). Otherwise a lap will be 1.6km.

They really could improve the setup experience for the metric world a lot…

Normally, the procedure (change-sync and rechange-sync) does it everywhere, no need for further changes (on other settings)...
