In[4]:= % // UnitConvert

Out[4]= Quantity[6.674*10^-11, ("Kilograms" "Meters")/("Seconds")^2]

In[5]:= % // UnitSimplify

Out[5]= Quantity[6.674*10^-11, "Newtons"]

Thank you. i didn't even check UnitConvert because it's not a conversion (not what Convert[] did in 4.0 either). UnitSimplify[] was not in the See Also of help for Quantity[]. The overview didn't mention UnitSimplify (but I did miss finding the Unit guide page).

I really don't like the "1st generation" oob style solution, but at least it can be made to work.

In Mathematica 11.3 version:

 R = Quantity[1, "Meters"];
 m1 = Quantity[1, "Kilograms"];
 m2 = Quantity[1, "Kilograms"];
 G = Quantity[1, "GravitationalConstant"];

 (G*m1*m2)/R^2 // UnitConvert

Or:

 (G*m1*m2)/R^2 // UnitSimplify
