For some reason all of my previews of my watch faces say “MPH” for wind speed but once the face loads on to my watcg they all say “MPS”. The speed # seems correct but I am not sure what is causing the unit if measure to be wrong.
Ok. Are you in Metric or Imperial location? The default units are imperial, hence Miles Per Hour ( MPH ) and the alternative metric unit is metres per second ( MPS ). If it is showing up as MPS then I guess the phone/watch must think you are in a country that uses metric units. I can’t remember if there is a Facer setting for metric/imperial that will override the default. You could check the Facer app to see if there is one.

If you have a Samsung Gear S3 Frontier the Facer app in the watch will switch to metric on it’s own. I have been battling that problem since I joined Facer. On my watch the only thing it seems to change is the MPH to MPS but the actual reading seems to still be Imperial. I don’t include the descriptor for the measurement anymore on my watch faces just because I’m tired of seeing it show up wrong. I’ll do wind speed and instead of including the code to show MPH or MPS, I just write “Wind #WNDDS# (direction) at or @ ( round (#WND#) )” so it reads “Wind NNE @ 5”. It just saves me anguish with my OCD.
I am on imperial and that is what the setting is in the facer app on my phone. But on my Samsung Active 2 the Facer setting says metric, I switch it to imperial but within a half hour it switches back.
I have a new Active 2 also, and it seems to happen on it but not as much. I have mentioned this to @Facer_Official before, but nothing has changed yet. I’m afraid it’s something to do with the way the Facer app works with Tizen OS. It’s either that or Samsung isn’t allowing the app all the permission access it needs to function correctly in this area. Like I said I just avoid using the tags that shows what the scale being used is and everything functions correctly. It still reads the temperature, distance and wind speed in Imperial even if the description of the measurement says it’s metric. BTW as an additional note, it only seems to show up on mine for the wind speed measurement. I’ve never seen the temperature show xx°C it’s always xx°F even when the Facer app shows it’s in metric.
