You can Change km to miles on Apple Watch to show all of your activity details in either miles or kilometers, depending on what you prefer. However, Apple doesn’t make it clear how to do this. No matter what kind of Apple product you buy, you will be asked where you are when you set it up. The whole point is so that many settings, like which units you like, can be set correctly for you.
The ability to switch between KM and Miles on Apple Watch is helpful for people who travel a lot or who moved to a different country but still prefer to use KM instead of Miles or vice versa. When you set up your Apple Watch in France, those annoying activity stats will be measured in metric units. If you put the same Watch in place in New Jersey, it will tell you how many miles you should walk this month.

Should you get an Apple Watch?
For iPhone users, the Apple Watch is the best smartwatch in general. Even with the Ultra, there are many smartwatches that are better for serious athletes than the Apple Watch. But they fall short when it comes to productivity, safety features, controlling your smart home, and working with other Apple devices and services. And the Apple Watch has the most apps from third-party developers than any other smartwatch.
Wearables, like the Apple Watch, are very personal devices. If you don’t wear it often, you won’t get the most out of it. You don’t want to spend a lot of money on something that will just sit in a drawer and gather dust. The best way to avoid this is to play your cards right and put comfort first. Before you start thinking about which Apple Watch model you should get, take a moment to figure out which size and strap material will fit your wrist the best.
