Lap Audio Announcement

I have a Fenix 3 that recently got a feature to announce the Laps and mileage via the phone's audio. I am not sure if other watches also have this feature. With the recent upgrade (3.2 I believe) this feature has totally disappeared. The option used to be in GCM under the Fenix 3 settings. I have tried to uninstall, reinstall GCM and repaired watch but nothing gets it back. Is anyone know what happened to this feature?
  • I was able to find a version of 3.1.3 and downgraded. The option came back. GCM team can you PLEASE fix your upgrade.

    I'd like to add my voice to this as well. The voice lap alerts are *really* useful for short interval high intensity repeats. Trying to feel a vibration on your wrist when your lungs are trying to explode ain't easy!

    Please bring this function back!
  • I also lost mine but when I went back into the options I found ** New ** voice options for Heart Rate and options for announcement at different times / distances. It was all turned off ... thus my silence... all back on now and will test it tomorrow.
  • Where did you find those options Andy? I've just looked at mine and can't find them (Doesn't mean they aren't there though!) :)

    For the Fenix3 - at least in the latest software and latest beta, the Audio Prompts seem to have disappeared.

    My lap announcements are working OK (as before), but the other new options for HR didn't work on my run yesterday... Perhaps the Android App was updated to show these options but they dont actually work on my 235.
  • Thanks Andy, that's what I thought you'd say. I've got a Fenix 3 and the voice prompt options have gone.
