There are a couple of threads suggesting the metric version of grams for this and kilojoules for that. Let's propose that ALL measurements on all devices be factory set to the metric system. That way, the rest of the world will be happy they bought the device and Americans will need to learn metric (or at least learn how to change the settings into their imperial system). Who knows? They might actually be happier using metric. The arguments for metric were over more than a century ago. The Fitbit team not adding this feature - even as an option if not default - is surreal if not an act of American imperialism (pardon the pun). I do know that widespread implementation of metric in the US has been proposed and rejected due to the massive cost but changing the code to add this feature on a Fitbit device will open your market and welcome the rest of the world - and it won't cost you much. The goodwill in that is not to be misunderestimated (to quote Bush Jnr). Even the free UnderArmour app MapMyRun for iOS has a kilojoule option on it! The kilojoule thread in this forum has been going since 2014. Can we please fix this problem, already? Yes, we can. The only other thing we can suspect is that Fitbit has given up in the fitness monitor market and is just biding time while it finds a buyer for its business. When so many customers have commented so passionately, I can't imagine a switched-on and motivated company would not act immediately. But 4 years later, still without an explanation, I don't see how it could be anything else.
