Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Note that some watches have spoken audio promts, e.g., a choice of values to announce on auto-lap, though I am not aware of any with a spoken count-down. This might be convenient if you are already wearing earphones. support.garmin.com

It’s just not loud enough on my wrist, when not wearing earphones.

Maybe it’s an age thing: my arms are not long enough for reading, yet too long for hearing! 😆

What I wasn't clear about - the announcement comes over the earphones and mutes whatever was playing at the time.

Actually that’s not exactly true. If you are getting audio alerts over headphones when listening to an audiobook then the book stops when you get an alert. If you are listening to music then the music 'ducks' (reduces volume) when you get an alert but the music keeps playing. Still, the alerts are much easier to hear!

Maybe that depends on the app, chunkywizard. Storytel continues after the interrupti.

Ah Steve we might be talking about different things. Are you talking about music/ audiobooks from the phone? I was talking off the watch itself via mp3s synced to it or via Spotify.

When mentioned earlier that the training plan changes when you add a race to the calendar, is this when you are using one of the pre-defined Garmin plans?
