Hi. I just got my Garmin Instinct and I was able to change the measurements unit from Miles to KM. However, when running it vibrates/notifies every mile instead of KM. how can I change this too? Thnaks!

    Please ensure your Instinct is updated to software version 16.00 seen in the Settings > About menu.

    Double check your watch is set to Kilometers when you go to the Settings > System > Units > Distance menu.

    Also, when you go into your Run APP Run Settings > Alerts menu to set up your custom alert distance under the Distance category for every 1KM - ensure your watch distance field shows every 1.00 km vs. every 1.00 Mi when you double check what was saved.

    Hold MENU key -> Settings -> Activities & Apps -> Sport of your choice, e.g. Run -> Run settings -> Auto Lap

    Here you can either turn it off to stop this every mile notification at all, or leave it on and set the distance in the Auto Distance field below. In my watch there was a default setting of 1.61 km which equals 1 mile, which I suspect is your case as well. Change it to every 1 km or any other value.

    In the next field you can customize the notification screen.
