Understanding the Importance of Temperature Units

Before diving into the steps, let’s understand why changing the temperature units is important.

Now you’re ready to make the switch! Follow these steps to change the temperature units from Fahrenheit to Celsius:
1. Tap on “Temperature Units“: This will open a menu displaying the available options.
2. Select “Celsius”: Use the top button to navigate to “Celsius” and tap to confirm your selection.
3. Exit the settings menu: Press the top button to return to the watch face.

Whether you’re tracking your workouts, monitoring your sleep, or simply checking the weather, your watch will now provide accurate and easily understandable temperature information.
