I would like my Google Pixel Watch to alert me (vibrate) every mile I complete during my runs.

Hi @JJMor, and thanks for taking the time to share this suggestion about adding mileage alerts during runs/exercises on Pixel Watch. We rely on feedback like yours to help us develop products and features that we know our community wants to see. If this suggestion receives votes from other customers and gains popularity, it will be shared internally with various teams at Fitbit. To learn more about how Fitbit decides which suggestions get developed, visit our FAQs.

 

In the meantime, I'd like to mention that you can set an exercise goal on your Pixel Watch > open the 'Exercise app' > 'Run' > 'Goal' > 'Distance' > '1.0 miles' > 'Start'. In that way you will receive an alert in each mile during your runs.

October 2023:  I would like this functionality, too.  Is it being worked on?

Yes, I would love to see this feature as well. Coming from a Garmin, it's definitely one thing I miss during my run..

Still waiting.   Just want a buzz or a chime or a voice to alert on mile splits!  Please help us!

At least on the Pixel Watch 3, this works now. Not sure about PW1/2, though.

Interesting! Did you have to set anything for that to happen?  What happens -- what feedback do you get?  I have the PW1.

Good to know the P3 has this feature.. I just ordered one.
On the P2 I ended up downloading the Google Fit app to the watch. When I
run I start the Fitbit and the Fit apps. It talks at the miles markers and
tells you your times.. Time of your run and the time of your last mile..
Exactly what I wanted, but I wish I didn't have to start two apps...

When you start a run, go to settings. There's an option "Alerts" where you can set the announcements.

As this is a feature of the Fitbit app, perhaps this also works on the older models.

So on the P3 (not loading anything but Fitbit) does it alert by sound or by
actually talking to you telling your times?

Yes, the PW3 talks to me after each km.
