Audio Cues (current time, distance, pace) on Google Pixel Watch

When running, I like to have audio cues for time and distance so I don't have to check my watch/phone often to know when I need to turn around. I like to have a cue every 5min and every mile. When the audio cues trigger, I like it to report my current time, current distance, and current pace.

Yes please. It is unbelievable Fitbit doesn't support audio cues on Pixel Watch. It is such a basic feature all other (running) apps I've been using over time had this. (look at Google Fit for example)

It's absolutely outlandish the most basic of features isn't available on the running tracker. I'm not even voting for this suggestion, I'm selling my Pixel watch and going back to Garmin.

I agree with the other commenters, It makes no sense to me that such a basic feature that is present in other Fitbit devices is not in the flagship pixel watch 2 device. When I purchase this watch I was under the impression it would be at least as good as any other Fitbit. Now I find that it's lacking basic things and when you call customer service they try to point you to some apps gallery that is not present for the pixel watch. Totally disappointed and considering returning this watch

This is a feature users would expect to a default capability, especially given the fact that all apps and hardware are in the Google ecosystem. Seems like a major oversight on the design team. Basing the priority of this addition on number of votes isn't the best option in my opinion. It took some considerable searching to even find this page. I'd expect most users are either going to go to another 3rd party app or (like the person above) abandon the watch and app all together. Also one of the main selling pitches that Google touted was that Fitbit was full integration into the Pixel Watch 2. The frustration I've read out there is understandable.

Baffling... how many years have they owned Fitbit and been designing the the Pixel Watch? Google is amazing at delivering partially good experiences across.a wide range of hardware products until they eventually cancel them.

Please may you implement this. This is an extremely useful feature for people trying to track activities without interrupting their flow to look at their watch every so often to check distance/place.

This seems really basic for a fitness app on a watch guys.. I thought I was an idiot that just couldn't find the setting because I couldn't believe it wasn't there. I'm not crazy about staring at my watch to get interval updates. Please add audio cues.

I sold my pixel watch and bought a Garmin and it was the best decision I've ever made 🙂
