I used to do a bit of code for a codebase that did that with SECONDS and

That is the best way to handle any kind of unit conversions: define a
single conversion factor for each unit, that is used for conversion to (by
multiplication) or from (by division) a common canonical unit for that
dimension.

This particularly applies to angles, where people endlessly argue over
whether radians or degrees are better. Radians are more natural for
expressing calculations, but degrees are more comprehensible to humans.
