Hourly alerts . . . at last! Thank you Garmin.

Honestly speaking - a shocker ;-) Yes, I did ask for this ever since Fenix 2, but did NOT expected this will ever happen - I wish there is a vibration as an option (maybe its doable with sounds turned off - I have not yet tested) but I am very very grateful for this! Big thanks to Garmin for implementing this ftte. You guys rock!

    Agreed! I'm very happy to see this added!

    It uses Settings > System > Sounds > Alert Tones, and Settings > System > Sounds > Vibration, and also follows your settings and hours for Do Not Disturb mode, which is a nice touch.

    Personally, I wish these alerts were configured separately instead of using the same settings as the rest of the alerts. It would be nice to just have a simple beep for Hourly Alert, but still have vibration for other notifications.

    I'm also not a big fan of the screen it displays for the hourly alert. I wish it could be disabled.

    Would anybody care to jot a couple of lines how could I use that feature? When would that ever be useful to me/someone?

    I couldn't agree more... Exactly what I think!
