Timer Started sound alert

Timer started alert. same as in this post forums.garmin.com/.../constant-timer-started-announcements I also found similar reddit post on this.

Seems to be some kind of false detection on Venu 3 specifically. although I have turned Move IQ on. Walking detection is off and running is set to 3 min. It always happens when I have a bit more dynamic movement, the sound alert is really annoying. Please provide a way to turn it off.

Now that I think about it. this is likely a bug.

My hypothesis is that for MoveIQ to work, it starts a timer event under the hood to track your movement. For other watches that don't have speakers, there is no problem. but for venu 3 you hear the announcement because Audio Prompt >> Timer Event setting is on by default.

Need to engineers to test this if it's indeed Move IQ + timer event audio prompt causing the problem.

Anyhow the watch should be giving false alerts for slight movements anyways.
