Apple Watch Compass : Elevation Units

Hello Stuart Palfreyman,

We would suggest that you change the setting to another country that uses feet, and then toggling it back to UK.

This may reset the connection.

If that does not work, set the Apple Watch to Mirror the iPhones selection.

On the iPhone, tap on Settings > Language & Region > Measurement System and choose either Metric or UK. If one of them is selected, choose the other to reset the connections.

Have a good day.

Hi Stuart Palfreyman,

We understand you'd like to set your Apple Watch Compass to meters instead of feet. Look at the solved steps in this similar discussion to resolve your issue.

1. Set the region in the Phone Watch app in General/Language & Region to ‘Custom'
2. Set area to country that uses Meters i.e UK

Change to meters in elevation Apple Watch 6

Have a good day.

Thanks for asking the question, Stuart. I have the same problem and confirm that neither of the steps suggested solve the problem with my Apple Watch 5 / Watch OS9 combination either. I will keep looking but any other ideas gratefully received.
