option to disable the insane alerts during structured workputs

[deserthike20]

I absolutely agree. The constant alerts from intervals then also laps is just too much for me….Please make this an option.

I know we can put the watch in DND but there really should be an option to turn out of zone alerts off. Just like we already have with auto laps.

@deserthike20 @MotherRunner @aiv4r @2b2bff @mando I will convey this to Suunto but I may set up a poll or something here to help gain traction on this. The more that want a change the better chance we have. I will enquire on the field test site first to see if this is planned to be optional and get back to you here.

Any update how to fix this? I m still having same problem on Vertical 2.

@tobstar since last firmware, you now have the option to disable activity notifications, look for this in the options menu before starting the activity, as they cannot be modified after activity has started.

@herlas on latest firmware of Suunto Race 1 there is no option for this. I can only disable all notification completely (sound or vibration). There is still no option for disabling only target alerts.

Watches constantly vibrate during the workout and it is very annoying because I cannot differentiate target alerts from interval/lap alerts to track my intervals.

It would be very good to see an option to disable target alerts in future updates.

@Stanislav-Kuzmin this has been implemented in April already.

@isazi I must be missing something but I cannot find this option on my watches. I’m running 2.53.42 firmware. Would you advise where can I find this option please? The only thing that I found is Activity notifications in Exercise options. But this switch enables or disables vibration completely.

[isazi]

@Stanislav-Kuzmin don’t you have “Activity notifications” and “Mobile notifications” in the “Exercise options” menu?

[Stanislav Kuzmin]

@isazi Yes, I have these menu items. In Activity notifications there are two switches: Sound and Vibration. If I disable Vibration it disables all vibration in the workout. While I need to maintain notification of interval start/end and disable target notifications (hr, tempo, etc).

[isazi]

@Stanislav-Kuzmin I understand now, my mistake, it is still not possible to only mute (or configure) S+ guides “notifications”

[Stanislav Kuzmin]

@isazi Could you move this topic back to Feature Suggestions please? I think this is a feature that many people are waiting for.

[isazi]

@Stanislav-Kuzmin no, feature suggestion is for the app, not the watches.

[MLM31]

As a 9PP user, zone exit alerts are one of the features I miss the most (aside from GPS and heart rate accuracy). I’ve been putting off getting a new watch for many months because I can’t bring myself to switch to Garmin, but I do miss this feature.
Knowing that this is now possible with a Run 2 or Race 3S makes these options even more attractive. Has anyone had a positive experience with these features or is it that annoying?

[isazi]

@MLM31 I do not find it annoying, I find it very useful and not that intrusive, but it depends on how you use it. I only use it for intervals, mostly with pace zones, so I can stay in the target. If your target is very narrow, staying in the zone may be harder, and you would get more alerts.

[MLM31]

@isazi Thank you. Alerts outside the pace zone in intervals training is exactly what I’m looking for.
