Why Unit Preferences Matter for Your Fitness Journey

Whether you're used to tracking distances in miles for running or prefer metric for international consistency, customizing these settings makes your workout summaries and daily activity logs more intuitive and easier to interpret. This consistency helps you better gauge your progress and stay motivated towards your fitness goals.

Beyond just distance, the Samsung Health app on your Galaxy Watch 4 allows you to personalize various other units of measurement to suit your preferences. This ensures a consistent experience across all tracked metrics.
Here's a quick overview of common units you can typically adjust:
| Unit Category | Metric Options | Imperial Options |

Ensuring Your Changes Are Applied
