IDK about english-speaking places, but in Hebrew we’d say “meter 70”. I never thought about whether this is strictly grammatical in Hebrew, but by the descriptive approach I guess it must be because it’s commonly used.
Edit: but it doesn’t really work when you want to write it as a number so you’d have to write either 1.70m or 170 cm (if you prefer 1m 70cm that’s fine but it’s two numbers)
Yeah, I never heard anyone tell their height in centimetres. It’s always like “I’m 1 metre 71” or so.

I also don’t really know about English-speaking places, in writing we also go for 1,70 m over here
In my language 100 is just tree letters so most of the people just say 170 insteand of meter 70 because its shorter
