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 pace is above 10 minutes per mile and below 15 minutes per mile. 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. 20 Apps and Activities Alert Name Alert Type Description Cadence Range You can set minimum and maximum cadence values.
