Hello Dogboz,
Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities. We understand that steps on the Apple Watch are showing in kilometers unexpectedly, and we're here for you.
When you're in the middle of a workout in the Workout app, you should be able to highlight the metric that's most important to you. You do this by raising your wrist, then turning the Digital Crown. Check out the section "Track your progress" in the article below to learn more:
Use the Workout app on your Apple Watch
If this issue doesn't seem to be expected, then there are some steps you can take to further isolate the issue such as restarting both devices and ensuring they're fully updated.
If an update is available, we suggest having a current backup to iCloud or to a computer, first.

Hi No that does not work I already tried to restart it’s always the first thing I do.
You’ve misunderstood the issue going to the workout apps it all shows in miles but it’s the overview on the clockface that shows kilometres that’s the only place it shows kilometres everywhere else every other setting is set to miles. But for some strange reason the clock face shows kilometres every report in the health app shows miles everything in the workout app shows miles it’s just the clockface that shows kilometres
I managed to solve it it was user error by me I had installed an app called Pedometer plus to get my steps on the watch face settings default fire that was km fliced that to miles and everything shows in miles
kind regards
Dreadful spelling by me 🙄.
“ fire” should have been “for”
”fliced” should have been “flicked”
I am a twit 😎
Watch 7. Activity and workout on phone and watch all set to miles but the step distance on watch face dhows km
