Oscar the Grinch Dec 2023 7:20pm, 14 Dec 2023 6,955 posts	Quote Pin Oscar the Grinch My phone sometimes announces lap splits out loud, and other times it doesn't - I've searched both watch settings and phone app settings before, and couldn't find any setting to do with a phone announcing anything. To my logical mind, it's very annoying that it appears to be random, as I know that something has been programmed somewhere to do it under certain circumstances......... Agree, mine does this.

K5 Gus Dec 2023 9:19pm, 14 Dec 2023 5,999 posts	Quote Pin K5 Gus OtG - based on what Badger said to Linds above, I've changed a setting on the watch. Settings - Audio Prompts - Lap Alert - Off ( was previously On ) I thought this was to do with the watch beeping when it displayed the lap split on the screen, but perhaps it's actually to do with the phone ?? But if it is this setting, then why does the phone only announce splits on some runs and not other ( Bluetooth always on, getting email notifications etc on the watch from the phone ) Will see if that makes a difference........

Yup that's the phone, the beeps/vibration are System>Sound and Vibe (at least on current generation, I think that's changed in the past But if it is this setting, then why does the phone only announce splits on some runs and not other For me that depends on phone settings, media volume if I remember rightly on Android. I quite often have that completely muted unless I've got Bluetooth headphones attached. Quite happy getting lap alerts through my headphones but I really don't like my running pack telling everyone in earshot how slowly I'm going!

tipsku Dec 2023 4:47pm, 18 Dec 2023 3,745 posts	Quote Pin tipsku My phone talks to me, too. It's telling me the splits, nothing else yet. That's mostly useful but it has some glitches. My phone's system language is Finnish so I get all apps in Finnish if they have a translation. Garmin does, but with dodgy grammar. Instead of doing the normal "lap six, six fifteen" (km 6 done in 6:15), it randomly treats some lap times as dates. So I get something that doesn't even make sense as there is no 15th month in the year. I haven't found it yet why and when that happens. I can have three correct lap times and then I get the first date.
