Activity based updates (notifications / strava)

Is there a way to have activity based notifications? For instance every 15 minutes and update during walking and every 3 minutes when running?

Also have an update to Strava only when running and bicycle riding?

Maybe I missed a topic on this but couldn’t find it.

if it disturbs you by walking, on solar instinct you can set the bluetooth off (power mode) for your walking activity so you will not get any notifications while walking on your phone. by any other activities…

Alerts can be set for each type of activity. So yes, you can set a 15min alert for your walks and 3min for your runs.

No, you can not select which activities are uploaded to Strava.

Thanks for your feedback and I realize I wasn't as clear as I should have been :)

I created the activity based notifications that I can get on my watch. However, I would like to be able to set them on the Garmin Connect app so they can be audible via my headphones. Because I run without glasses (only need them to read) so having the notifications like Lap time and Average pace are currently via the app.

Thanks and I will!

you can set only lap, pace and HR alarms in Garmin connect app -> tap on your watch -> activity options

Look at the activity options settings in the app under your device. It has the option for audible notifications and works via headphones.

Yes thanks got that! And, that has a generic setting for all activities. So, when I walk (not run) it also gives me heartrate and avg speed every 3 minutes. So you can't select this based on the activity. This is where I hope I could set that activity based and not generic.

I have to sadly accept that you can set activity based notifications on your watch and only generic settings on the Garmin Connect App. Also thanks mihailstacanov for your response!

Well .. may sound silly .. But never thought of that :) And yes .. That is seriously a great tip!!! Man sometimes the solutions are so simple and the mind takes such a complex route!!!

Also, you can set up custom screens that only include 1 data field. they would be bigger text and easier to read.
