Imperial for miles, Metric for celcius, and per-sport settings
-
In the UK we use a combo of the metric/imperial systems. Typically all distances/speeds are measured in miles (imperial), and temperature is measured in celcius (metric). I couldn’t tell you what a farenheit even is - I’ve never seen it used, but miles, yards and feet, sure. Suunto (at least, the Race S) only allows either metric or imperial for EVERYTHING.
But even a separate imperial/metric setting for temperature and distance isn’t enough - really it should be per sport. E.g. in the UK swimming would still use metric distances. Even metric countries might want to switch to imperial for running if they were training for a marathon or doing mile repeats (etc)
This appears to be a perennial request:
