Vibrations
Each alert has its own vibration, so you know what’s happening without looking at your watch.
What each one means
| Alert | Vibration |
|---|---|
| Lap | Two short |
| Off route | Three long |
| Back on route | One short |
| Left turn | Long, short, short |
| Right turn | Short, short, long |
| Target: you’re above it (faster or higher heart rate) | Three short |
| Target: you’re below it | One long |
| Target: back on target | One short |
| Reminder (drink, eat…) | Two long Coming in 0.3 |
| Stopped for a while without pausing | Four medium Coming in 0.3 |
| Moving while the activity is paused | Four medium Coming in 0.3 |
| Waypoint marked | One short Coming in 0.3 |
The rule for turns: the long vibration is on the side you turn to (first for left, last for right).
Lap and target vibrations can be turned off for a single activity in This activity › Vibrations.
