      I am sick of having to go through all my settings to switch between metric and imperial just to change interval distances. It would be nice for developers to allow users to set units for each individual interval just like we can for autolap. It would also be nice if we could do the same for paces for intensity zones, but I’d take the interval units first.

          @isazi my bad, the S9, but I guess it would apply to all watches

            I don’t really get it I guess.
            Why do you need to switch from metric to imperial (or vice versa) to adjust interval distance? Once your watch is set up for one of the two systems, distance and interval distance are changed accordingly.

              @surfboomerang well if you want to run let’s say 1 km repeats, there is no way to set that distance on the watch if the watch is set to imperial.

                  @zrumlow As @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos suggests… why would you run 1km intervals while your watch is set to imperial units?

                    I think it’s something “we” complete metric people do not see as something anyone could possibly want, but it may be different for people that live in countries where metric and imperial are mixed.

                      @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos said in Metric vs Imperial on Watch:

                      0,621371 miles

                      Actually: 0.621371 miles. If we’re converting.

                          @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos Standard/imperial uses a decimal point, not a decimal comma (except to divide thousands).

                              @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos Thought as much. And I’m teasing. (Mind you, you’re also typing in English and in EFL/ECL + a lot of ESL metric, it’s still a point.)

                              Altho’ it seems frantic, it’s merely pedantic. (More metric typing.)
