Activity Alerts
You can set alerts for each activity, which can help you to train toward specific goals or increase your
awareness of your environment. Some alerts are available only for specific activities. Some alerts require
optional accessories, such as a heart rate monitor or cadence sensor. There are three types of alerts: event
alerts, range alerts, and recurring alerts.
Event alert: An event alert notifies you once. The event is a specific value. For example, you can set the watch to
alert you when you burn a specified number of calories.
Range alert: A range alert notifies you each time the watch is above or below a specified range of values. For
example, you can set the watch to alert you when your heart rate is below 60 beats per minute (bpm) and
over 210 bpm.
Recurring alert: A recurring alert notifies you each time the watch records a specified value or interval. For
example, you can set the watch to alert you every 30 minutes.
