Delay in starting a activity such as cycling running etc

Hello all
New owner of a Fenix 5X
When going into cycling mode how can I delay the start i.e. I need to start my activity cycling - then take my glasses off pack my bag etc so I was looking for a audible countdown of something between 15 - 60 seconds any ideas?
Thanks

After the activity is selected on the watch then it starts to acquire GPS. I suggest you pack your bag then so you are ready to press start again and begin you ride.

Start counting loud for 15-60 sec, and then press start button.

Am I missing something here?

When you press activity/cycling as per chunkywizard it will bring up the cycling activity first screen, acquire satellites connect to any sensors such as HRM etc it will only start the timed activity when you press start
