And yes we still buy milk by the pint not the litre.

How is that relevant to a running/fitness app? Sporting events in the UK use metric, more often than not.

please fix this

Not exclusively. Most sporting events use metres and kilometres... and this is a fitness app, after all! What we need is the option to chose the system we want. Then everyone's happy.

Just that the UK does not use exclusively metric or imperial. And I had not spotted (until I read the above post) that you can change water from Litres to Pints on the Health App. That said in UK we buy milk in Pints & water in Litres!

In the UK: Distance travelled is in miles (MPH speed limits). Warning signs are in yards not meters. However elevation is given as Meters above sea-level?

Yes some sporting events 5-10K runs etc are in KM. But for the much of UK who are NOT serious athletes we would "tend to think" in miles. This may chance as the younger generation comes through? (I am 43).

FitBit for example allows the user to select the units of choice. Apple should allow us ability to choose. It must be a easy fix at it is already within the programme?

Quite right - we use a mix, and every Apple app should reflect that and give us a choice.

By the way - we're the same age... and I do *tend* to think in miles... except when it comes to running, as I'm invariably training for a 10, 15 or 20K.

There is a simple and easy way to change the unit if you go into the health app then click on one of the days/weeks/months/years then go on units then change from Km to Mi.
