Countdown Timer too long

Former Member

The countdown timer for each activity/workout is 5 seconds long. For every single activity. 

I do yoga so sometimes a single pose lasts only 6 seconds until I switch to another. This means that for five of those seconds, I feel 5 vibrations on my wrist as the watch counts down from 5.

I tried disabling the countdown timer completely, did not work.

I tried reducing 5 seconds to 3 seconds, did not work. ("enter a value 0:05 or higher")

I disabled vibrations completely under settings, but then I get no notifications at all that my pose switched.

I want to be able to switch from pose to pose with only ONE vibration letting me know that I switched. 

The only reason I got this watch was to to be notified that I am switching from one pose to the other, helping me keep a consistent pace. The countdown timer's vibration is making it's harder for me.

Garmin, we would appreciate the option to ignore the countdown timer or to at least have the option to reduce the seconds from a digit less than 5. Thank you for any help you can provide.
