Bring AUDIO TONES setting from Forerunner Over to Fenix 6

I am trying to figure out how to hear the countdown beeps in my headphones. I was always able to hear these with my Forerunner 245 Music as there was a setting under AUDIO PROMPTS called AUDIO TONES. While listening to music... there would be 5 tones that would sound 5 seconds before the next training segment. On my Fenix 6 Sapphire... this setting is not available. II hear the tones without headphones coming from the watch directly... but while listening to music through BT headphones, the alert tones don't sound. Thoughts?

I have always wondered about the poor training prompts on headphones in my previous F5+ and now F6

What's disappointing is that they do exist... but only in Forerunner series. I don't know if that's because Garmin classifies those as true "running" watches and so needs some type of delineation from the Fenix which is simply classified as a "Wearable"... but for the price tag of the F6... Garmin should realize people are not going to have BOTH a Fenix and a Forerunner... so why strip a cadillac series watch of a prime running feature?

You can use audio prompts within the Fenix 6 series. Here is a Support Article - Enabling Spoken Audio Prompts.

Hi Chris... thanks for taking the time to respond. Unfortunately SPOKEN prompts are not what I'm looking for. I'm looking for ONLY the audio tones that beep 5 times before your next segment/lap is about to begin. Specifically I'm looking for them in my BT headphones. These are easy to set in the Forerunner watches but the setting does not exist for the Fenix.

Thank you for the clarification. We are looking into what you are describing and comparing both the Fenix and Forerunner. I will post a reply update as soon as possible.

And audio prompts/beeps for turns during a navigation via bt headset would be nice, too.

Should all be easy to add, if they are willing.
