How does Forerunner 245 give Prompts? (not 245 Music)

Hello,

I am a Suunto 5 user and was thinking of moving to a 245 as it seems easier to build and transfer complex workouts to it.

Does the 245 do prompts to bring you into HR Zones or warn you to slow down/speed up etc? If so, how does it do so? Buzz? Beep?

I dont want to go to a 245 Music if possible.

Regards

If you do a structured workout and add HR/Pace alerts, the watch will beep/vibrate (*) and a full screen alert will be displayed on the watch. (I don’t use these a lot, but IIRC, the alert shows you your current HR/pace, and the color of the alert suggests whether you’re too high or too low.) You can also set alerts on the watch outside of a structured workout.

(*) Beeps and vibrations can be enabled and disabled independently in the watch settings.

Also, you can still get audio alerts with the 245 (non-music) but in that case, you have to run with your phone.
