Unit Preference for Different Activities

Hello,

I'm overwhelmed by the amount of search results I get when I search for the answer to this so hoping someone may be able to help or give an answer / workaround.

Basically, I am looking to have different measurement units for different activities.

When lifting weights or doing resistance training, I like to measure in metric kG.
But when running I prefer using miles and not kM.

The watch doesn't seem to let me be able to do this and I have to use either one or the other.

Can anyone help?

The watch itself should have separate unit settings for distance, pace/speed, and weight, so what you're asking for should be possible on the watch. (Although the unit settings aren't activity-specific, they're separated by the type of measurement. It should still work for you since you should be able to specify metric for weight and statute/imperial for distance and speed/pace.)

However, the Connect app only allow has a single unit setting for all measurement types, and this is the thing that has generated all the complaints you probably saw when you searched.

For example, I'm Canadian so I use km (metric) for distance and speed/pace and lbs (imperial/statute) for strength training and body weight. This works fine on my watch (FR955).

But in the Connect app, there's only one unit setting for all measurements, meaning everything has to be in either metric, statute, or statute uk. So in connect, I choose metric because I run more often than I lift, and I need to see my distances and paces in km, even though seeing my lifts in kg is super annoying.
