Enable Celsius units on weather app without having to change distance to kilometers Ionic/Versa

[Haz11]

Currently the ionic will only  display Celsius units when the distance unit is in 'kilometres'. It would be great if the ionic weather app displayed Celsius units regardless of the distance unit selected .... E.g, miles .

What a difference a weekend makes...

At least your "considering" fixing this _bug_ now again.

[Orbi2006]

I'm pleased to see this is now under consideration. I recently updgraded from a Charge 2 to the Versa and was a bit disappointed to find this out about the weather app. I found it very odd that the temperature unit was tied to the distance unit. Hopefully this will be resolved soon.

I could not believe it when this got changed to ‘tough luck we are not going to change it’ Thankyou for changing it back to under consideration.

Now we need a solution to this bug!

This is a bug not a update request or feature suggestions. In many countries we CANNOT use the weather service on you watch because it is in the wrong units. If you sell your watches in these countries without stating before you buy that if you want to use miles you have to tell the weather in F not C than you are lying to your customers.

Please sort this out quickly. It will be a simple update and we have already waited so long!

[DTFC1907]

I agree that being locked into degrees F when you've selected miles and degrees C when you've selected kilometers is not suitable. Please let us choose our temperature units separately, it alienates most of the UK market for starters.

@LuciaFitbit are there any updates with this?

[G1XOZ]

I think we will be waiting a very long time

We've already waited a very long time for them to fix this bug.

Please get this changed. It’s a total pain. Who actually thought this was a good idea to restrictively link km to Celsius? Someone working in global brand who has no clue about the rest of the world?

[Julieade]

Totally agree!

Come on Fitbit, please look to give users an option to change the weather app to Celsius and keeping miles for distance. 

[Jdav0509]

I find it insulting to be asked to vote for such an obvious development in a country where sales of Fitbit devices are significant.  It’s a simple request to have weather set it Celsius and distance in miles.  Common Fitbit team ... “vote”..... really??

[fanny1982]

I agree I run and swim in miles but I work in Celsius for temperature 

[WelshSimon]

Please allow users to track distance in miles yet still show weather temperature in Celsius as this is the default metric for all the 65 million citizens of the United Kingdom. 

[RichKetts]

Absolutely needed. In the UK it’s miles for distance & Celsius for temperature. Should be so simple to select both independently.

[LizFitbit]

Hi all, quick update that this is being built and should be released in the next OS update for both Ionic and Versa. Coming soon... will update when it's released. Thanks

[Beany71]

Great news thanks for the update 

[playscientist]

Thanks; shame it took ten months of requests  though. 

[pf2303]

The Weather cast app now provides the option to have Celsius with MPH or Fahrenheit with KPH
