Annoying automatic change from Calories to Kilojoules

My Apple Watch keeps changing my calories to kilojoules and I'm kind of sick of having to do this all the time:

In the Health app, go to: Health Data (tab) > Activity > Active Energy > Unit > select Calories. In my case, it's already Calories and I have to switch to KJ and back again to Calories to fix it.


Any hints on how to stop this annoying behaviour?

Hey RonEdwards,


That is a bit of an odd issue, and good to know that toggling the setting can temporarily resolve it. If you haven't already, double-check that both your Apple Watch and paired iPhone are updated. The current versions are watchOS 10.0.2, and iOS 17.0.3. To see what you have installed, tap Settings > General > About on both devices. If updates are needed, you'll want to back up first:

If you're already updated or the behavior continues after updating, you'll want to reach out to Apple Support to look into this with you more: Get Support


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.


Take care!
