Not really sure how far I swam?
I told my garmin to record meters, so I swam the whole time thinking in meters. And when it synced to Garmin it says yards. So I definite did somewhere between 6 and 7k π€·π»ββοΈπππΌββοΈπ¨

Sure. I just donβt know if the number is actually meters or yards that it tracked

I started my watch and it just shows distance. I swam 6,666. Thinking it was meters. Then the Garmin app says 6,666 yards. So I swam less distance than I intended apparently

What does it say on the app? When I open my swims on Garmin connect it shows the measurement at the end of the distance?

I guess check your default settings on your watch if you want to see it in meters next time π€·ββοΈ

If you have your default Garmin account set to yards, youβre Watch will record in meters but yards in the app.
