Steps to Disable Strength Activity Alerts
1. Open the Strength Activity Settings
You can do this:
• directly on the watch (Activities & Apps → Strength → Settings → Alerts), or
• in the Garmin Connect app (Device → Activities & Apps → Strength → Alerts)
2. Select “Add New Alert”
Even if you don’t actually want a new alert, choose this option.
This step forces Garmin to reveal the hidden default alerts for the Strength activity.
3. After Adding a New Alert, Scroll the Alerts List
Once the list expands, you’ll now see alert types that were previously invisible.
These represent the default Strength activity alerts that cause the nonstop messages.
4. Turn These Default Alerts OFF
Choose each alert and switch it to Off.
(You can delete the temporary alert you added — the defaults stay editable.)
5. Back Out and Save
Exit completely back to the watch home screen, or back to the main page in Garmin Connect.
6. Start a New Strength Activity
You should now see:
• no pop-up alerts,
• no message spam,
• no unnecessary cues during sets.

Results
After doing this, the Strength activity no longer generates the constant on-watch messages. The change persists across sessions.
This works on the Instinct 2 Solar running the latest software as of November 19, 2025.
