Golf distances showing in metres

I’ve changed all the settings in my Venu to Statute UK but still my watch shows distances to greens in metres - any help much appreciated as it’s driving me mad!

    Have you tried a hard reset of the watch?  If this doesn't work, you can do a full restore to defaults, but make sure that you sync the watch with Garmin Express first.

    To perform a hard reset, press and hold the power button on your watch.  Ignore the "Power Off" question and the assistance alert (if applicable) on your watch, just continue holding the power button pressed down until the screen goes blank.  Once this occurs, you may release the button.  Allow the watch to sit powered off for a few seconds, then you may power it back on by pressing and releasing the power button.

    How Do I Install Garmin Express?

    thanks for the suggestion - alas doesnt seem to make any difference. The thing that really baffles me is I also have a a Garmin Approach S20 which has always been in yards, and is still happily not suffering from this issue. Given they're both synced to same Garmin Express account I'm baffled.

    Thank you for trying that. So, after restoring the default settings on your Venu, Garmin Connect shows Statute UK, both watches show Statute UK, but the Venu continues to show golf distance in meters, while the S20 correctly shows distance in yards, is that correct?

    If so, please reply with a photo of your Venu watch showing the 'Unit of Measurement' setting as well as what your Garmin Connect mobile app shows for the 'Unit of Measurement' setting.

    Additionally, please reply with the following:

    1. May we, if necessary, have permission to email you?
    2. May we, if necessary, have permission to view/access your Garmin Connect account?
    3. In what country do you live?
