Audible alert limitation of yoga activity

Former Member over 6 years ago

This is more of an FYI as I already have the answer from Garmin Support
While doing power yoga, my watch was beeping for:
- Activity start
- Activity stop
- Activity save
- Loss of connection with my phone
Even though I had
- Disabled all alerts for this particular activity
- Disabled smart notification from phone during activity

The only way to stop the beeps is to disable all audible alerts for everything
Menu/Settings/System/Sounds/Alert Tones/OFF

This has proved to be a not too practical temporary solution, as I like the audible alert while I'm trail running and during other activities
So I guess a new feature suggestion; during yoga when I disable all alerts during activity, "all alerts" should include the start/stop/save and the Bluetooth connection loss beeps

I use Yoga for Kung Fu (fit training and "katas" not fights). And I only started before the salute avec stop it at the very end.

You can use the DND (Do Not Disturb) feature. It can be activated with a hot key, through the main settings menu, or through the Controls menu.

I also recommend disabling the phone connection alerts - in most cases they are completely useless, and rather disturbing. I turn them on only when in an unsafe environment and fear that someone could steal my phone, or that I could forget it without noticing. With the BT connectivity alert, I have a chance to act quickly.
