Customizable hourly time signal Garmin Fenix 5X Plus

5276456
over 4 years ago

Hello Developers,


I just got a Garmin Fenix 5X Plus. The watch is great but I miss one of the greatest features of the classic watches - the hourly beep. I know it's not a very important need for the most of the people but, I really appreciate it.


I know that Fenix 5X Plus has the this ability, although, to my disapointment, the beep is almost unnoticeable.


So, since I am new on this scenario of programming, would anyone be so kind as to provide any app/code that allow a customizable hourly time signal? Or any workaround?

Thank you very much in advance and take care everyone.

    Simple answer is there really is no good way to do this in CIQ.  A watch face would be a logical place, but CIQ watch faces do not have access to the Attention module - that's how apps can play tones or do vibrations.

    The next place would be a background service, but like a watch face, they have no access to Attention.

    It's something that needs to be done in the firmware.  You could try submitting it as an idea to Garmin: www.garmin.com/.../
