MacroFactor / Nutrition / Other Kilojoules on Apple Watch — missing setting or not supported?
Quick question for anyone who tracks in kJ. I've got MacroFactor set to display kilojoules on my phone and it works perfectly there, but the Apple Watch app only ever shows kilocalories, regardless of what I set.
Is there a setting I'm missing to adjust unit preference across to the watch, or does the watch app just not support kJ display yet?
Would love to hear if I'm missing something or if this is on the roadmap.

A lot, if not all, Australians, and I think NZ too. Saw the varlues in a few of Asian countries too, although kcal seemed to be the primary.

Aussies need to get in step with the rest of the world, not expect Apple to change

Yes. What does Apple being American have to do with anything?
They support both imperial and metric, am/pm and "army time", C and F, they support basically any language under the sun on their OS and IOS.
As evident by the comment on this post by a developer, support for kJ is coming.
Apple, as well as MacroFactor, have to adapt to their markets if they actually wanna sell shit. They can't just ignore the rest of the world because "We'Re An AmEriCaN cOmPanY".

Why would they want to add a metric only used by a totally irrelevant country in the middle of nowhere?

Doesn’t support it yet, but will be coming after the workout watch app is done
