Exactly what you want to do. Stare at the Garmin watching for dots to appear instead of watching the road.

When it beeps - a car is coming and you see where it is. Then you can have an optional beep that all clear. Or do you want to connect Lovense for vibration alerts? :D

Spring is here an still no updated Varia in sight. The RTL515 had been announced mid May 2020 so if Garmin keeps this pattern, we might see something around April to May. Keeping my fingers crossed...

I don’t think my Apple Watch does.

I think that you can get an app for the Apple Watch that adds this feature.
