I couldn't make it default to cm either, but if you have to enter the value, it is not a lot work to add cm after the value

Right click on the number and it will bring up a choice of scale.

Unfortunately I don't know how to make it stick - to avoid needing to right click each time.

    Change the ruler defaults:

    Win: Edit  > Preferences> Units & Rulers

    Mac: Photoshop > Preferences > Units & Rules

    Select the Units options you want to use for the Rulers to sets a default measuring system for the Rulers as well as for measuring within the document.
