In the health app I want to use the metric system, can I do that?
 
Its annoying how no one at apple gives a **** about this. In UK we use miles not km :mad:
 
I don't know, I am used to the US format of the date and other stuff. I guess I have to learn how to convert :rolleyes:

rough estimate is to half it then add 1

example 14km = 7 + 1 = 8 miles

it kinda goes to pot and drifts out on bigger numbers though, and on smaller than 5 but its a ball park figure

Or better just yet push the Home button and hold, then say "What is 14 kilometers per hour in miles per hour".:eek:

takes longer than just looking and doing the math in your head at a glance. was just trying to help
 
The health app is a total mess. It forgets what I have added to the dashboard at random and losses data altogether.

It doesn't take a genius to just convert by a factor 1.6 either. :rolleyes: I suspect most people should know this by 5th grade. :p

With that said, I'd still be pretty annoyed with having miles showing instead of metric units in my health app.

Agree, I don't know why some countries complicate using the imperial system.
