I would always say 'metre' with 'meter' being the american way, but... (just don't let the spelling police know)

metre (ˈmiːtə) or meter
n
1. (Units) a metric unit of length equal to approximately 1.094 yards
2. (Units) the basic SI unit of length; the length of the path travelled by light in free space during a time interval of 1/299 792 458 of a second. In 1983 this definition replaced the previous one based on krypton-86, which in turn had replaced the definition based on the platinum-iridium metre bar kept in Paris
