Hi
Apple Watch and your iPhone choose default units (metric or imperial) based on your region.
Check the Watch app on your iPhone:
- My Watch > General > Language & Region > Region format
You can also check on your iPhone under:
- Settings > General > Language & Region > Region formats
Units can also be changed in the Health app on your iPhone - for example, via:
- Health Data > Fitness > Walking + Running Distance > Unit
Units used within the fitness apps can also be changed directly on your watch, for example:
- On your watch, open the Workout app and select to start an Outdoor Run.
- When the goal screen is displayed, swipe left / right to the distance goal. Force press on this screen, then choose kilometres (if miles is originally shown).
- Exit from the Workout app (go back one screen by pressing cancel, then press the Digital Crown).
- The Activity app will now show km (and km will also be used for future workouts in the Workout app).
