Nutrition/Hydration automatic reminders

How does the automatic nutrition and hydration automatic reminders work? I have reviewed the menu back and forth to try to find something that enables it but did not find anything. I've followed long courses downloaded to the device but did not notice any message to remind me to dring or eat. I've tried it both on the 530 and 830 with the same result.

Is there anything I'm missing?

Have you enabled the alerts or just the nutrition tracker? There are two separate settings. To receive there alerts you need to enable them in the alerts menu, not just enable the nutrition tracker.

They will be in the alert settings under your activity profile. Enable the eat and drink alerts, you can choose either smart alerts or schedule them at specific intervals.

I have not tried this but was curious what the option to record water consumption actually does? When does require some type of flow recorder to tell you how much water goes through your bottle or camelback?

Thanks, that was the missing piece. First time I looked at them I thought it was the classic time alerts so I did not look at it anymore.

Same here. Enabled it, nothing happened. When I finished the ride, it said that I drinked 3 litres or something like that.

Absolutely ridiculous and useless.

You'll get an alert periodically to drink 100ml of water, at the end it assumes you've followed the alerts to calculate how much you drank.

Not sure why the alerts didn't come up on yours, mine worked as advertised.

Yes, thanks, I guess I didn't look hard enough. It worked on second ride, I choose smart.

It thinks I should drink far more than I really do. Or I really drink very little

The smart drink alerts are based on temperature and calorie burn rate. Do you ride with a power meter or is the Edge computing your used calories from other data such as HR, speed, elevation change?

It is working only in when you ride on preloaded route.
