Guide target zone alerts

@wakarimasen Yes. They are so annoying on the garmin that I think they are not usable at all. That’s why: don’t destroy the Suunto solution. Because it’s a silent solution. I can always look on my watch to check if I am on track without beeping. Not possible with a garmin

I have a Garmin 955 Forerunner and can set a custom alert for an activity on the device. Under the run activity I have an alert when my heart rate reaches my aerobic max level.
I am looking at Suunto because of the battery life and large face but would need a custom alert for my heart rate training. -

@Brad_Olwin Remember to make it optional if someone will implement this. I hate this beeping stuff. Use case: I get a workout from my coach. I don’t want to have beeping. I like it like it is today. It’s the opposite in the garmin forum: People their want to disable that beeping stuff but it’s not possible! So annoying!
I am 100% with you and personally do not want notifications as I train solely on RPE. When doing workouts I will feel better some days and have a stronger effort relative to RPE, when in heavy training blocks the opposite may happen. I think setting absolute values for pace/HR/Power is not realistic nor necessarily helpful for training. This is why I am using ZoneSense for most of my training except for short Intervals. The last set of Tempo Intervals I did was perfectly aligned with ZS.

@Brad_Olwin This to do list is not visible somewhere?
I assume this feature is easy to implement so that in the span of two years this could have been solved. -

Frankly my personal opinion is I do not want out of zone alerts. It is easy to see on the S+guide whether or not you are in zone. Garmin watches annoyingly keep beeping/buzzing the entire time someone is out of range, which I hate. I train by RPE anyway so fixed HR/Pace/Power zones I do not use.

Has this feature been added? I am seeing some people that do have the vibration and some that doesn’t. I am on Race 2 and I don’t get any vibration when I am out of my interval target pace on Suunto Guide.
-
@loverain the functionality is there since months.
-
@soisan how do you enable the vibration? Or is it automatic?

with the new update of today this has changed. Now you can fine tune your notifications in the settings for watch mode as well as for each activity individually.
