Spoken alerts during running workouts?

Does the new 970 use the speaker to provide spoken step/lap alerts during structured running workouts? I.E. if I have a target pace range of 6:20 to 6:40 min/mile during a workout step, will the watch provide spoken prompts of the target at the beginning of the rep? Similar to what the 965 does when also carrying the phone, but I'm hoping the 970 is able to do so with the built in speaker if I leave the phone at home and not using earbuds at all?

Not sure about the full extent of them, but yes. The watch will give you verbal prompts at the end of a lap. Still exploring what else this bit can do.

Yes, the same spoken alerts/prompts that you receive on your phone can alternatively be configured to output from the watch as well. You can choose the setting of whether to output the spoken audio to the phone or to the watch per activity (e.g. run, walk, etc).
