Audio Lap Alerts

Can you change lap alerts to be in advance of the lap versus the prior lap aka in arrears?

Seems silly to annouce a lap that has already finished versus the one you need to start.

How would you know the pace, the time, the HR, etc.

    I understand what you mean but that can't be done. It would be perfect if the coming target (pace, HR) would be announced before that section/lap starts. But I guess most of the time our workouts are not that complicated and a quick glance over it before the start of training should do the trick.

    Disabling the lap alerts might give you the info a few seconds sooner maybe.

    RobNL - but it can be done. The Epix while having an issue with Audible Alerts being pushed to the phone does support this. In fact when you and a Walk/Run interval to the Activity (NOTE this is not a structured workout) the watch communicates both; it announces the new lap and then a few seconds later tells you what you completed. Garmin's code is a mess at the moment. I have a used 245 that functions better at $200 then my brand new Epix at $700. This is the problem that happens when hardware companies try and become software companies without the proper App Dev process flows, QC, and regression testing processes.

    Interesting, sounds like an easy update then, but most likely one that the FR245 is never going to have,...
