If you ask how I could we change the units of measure from Imperial in Metric for temperature, distance or speed, this tutorial is definitely helpful.
Even if the temperature resimtita and distances are the same for everyone, units of measurement for them it differs depending on the country or the geographical region. There are two units of measurement worldwide. Imperial si Metric.

How do we change the units of measurement for temperature Fahrenheit (°F) to Celsius (°C) on Apple Watch

It is very possible if you have a Apple Watch again, displaying the temperature in the application Weather to appear in degrees Fahrenheit (°F), if you have set the region to USA or another country where the Imperial system is used. In this case, we have to see how we change the measurement units in which the values ​​are displayed.

Changing the unit of measure from Fahrenheit to Celsius for application Weather on Apple Watch, it will be done from the application settings Weather from iPhone.

1. open application Weather on the iPhone and click on the menu icon in the lower-right corner.

2. In the list of locations, at the bottom we have the option to change the measurement scale for temperature.

3. The unit of measurement for temperature will change immediately and on Apple Watch in application Weather.

The above setting will not change the measurement system if you use other weather applications. For example, if on iPhone and Apple Watch you have the AccuWeather application installed, changing degrees Celsius in Fahrenheit (or vice versa) will be done from the application settings AccuWeather.

How to change units of measure (feet, miles, kilojules, meters, kilometers, calories) for activity applications (Fitness, Activity, Workout) 

One of the most important features of Apple Watch is the ability to monitor fitness exercises, a training si physical activities. Application Fitness or Activity it monitors the energy consumed during activities and displays complex reports about the distances covered, the type of physical activities, rest times and others.
This information can be displayed both in the system Metric and also Imperial. To change the units of measurement in the application Fitness and from the reports Activity on Apple Watch and iPhone, we need to make some simple settings.

Changing units of measure in the Compass App on Apple Watch and iPhone

In some applications Apple, such as Compass, units of measurepind directly by the region registered in the iPhone settings. If in "Compass" we have the altitude (elevation) measured in "feet / ft", the change in meters is possible only if we set a geographical region / country in which the Metric system is used for the units of measure.

These settings can be found on the iPhone in Settings” →  “General” →  “Language & Region” →  “Region.

After selecting a new region, the devices will restart automatically. Attention, because the selection of a new region will have an impact on several applications. For example, the News application may disappear if you select a region where it is unavailable.

With iOS 16 si iPadOS 16, Apple introduced units converter for the values ​​that appear written in the applications Messages si Notes. In this way you have quick access to the conversion of measurement units Imperial in Metric or vice versa.

I am happy to share my experiences in the field of computers, mobile phones and operating systems, to develop web projects and to bring the most useful tutorials and advice. I like to "play" on the iPhone, MacBook Pro, iPad, AirPort Extreme and on operating systems macOS, iOS, Android and Windows.
