Distance in miles, lap pace in KM

Former Member over 8 years ago

My watch is set to record distance in miles and in addition to that one of my fields is set to record my pace per lap. Recently whilst I can still do distances in miles my pace has reset to KM. I've not made any changes so unsure what to do. Can anyone help me? Ian.

PS- still have some problems with my watch turning on sometimes so don't know if this is related.

The device switching from metric to statute was an issue where Garmin Connect was changing the device settings back to the default values. When the device synced, the device settings from Garmin Connect would overwrite the settings on the watch. This issue has been corrected. The reports that we have seen where this is still occurring have been that the Device Settings in Garmin Connect have the Units set to Miles. You can check these settings in your account by doing the following:

1. Sign into Garmin Connect online.
2. Click the 3 line Menu icon and select Devices
3. Select your device (if you have more than one associated)
4. Select the Device settings tab
5. Verify your the Device Display settings and make any changes that are needed
6. Save and then sync the device

We have not seen any increase in reports of users that have changed this setting in Garmin Connect and then it reverting back to the default value. If this is occurring with any accounts we will want to investigate this further.

Same problem

Hi

I have a Forerunner 235 (firmware 7.1) and Garmin Connect Mobile (Android, 3.13.0.1).

Same problem. I set everything to metric in the watch, but if I change anything in my profile in the Android app, everything reverts to miles and pounds. I don't think I even have to change anything in my profile on the app, just go in there and exit again.

My solution is to set everything to kms and kgs in the watch, and not view my profile in Garmin Connect Mobile.
