Not to pile up on the negativity, but looking at the SDK, first reaction is it's fucking C++ ? Can't wait for my watch to crash in the middle of something. And second reaction, when I see signatures like this :

  void TrackFaceTotal::setDistance(float dist, bool isImperial);
  void TrackFaceOverview::setPace(float pace);
and

  bool     unitsImperial;
littered everywhere, it makes my heart sink a little. Can't we have some data types and data modeling in 2026 please ? And leave unit conversion at the front end where it should be and not have to worry about it in every single core API ?
