Step 4.1: Customize Workout Division Settings (Optional)

Before sending your workout to your Garmin device, you can customize how your watch will notify you during the session. Visit your profile page to adjust these settings:

Workout division and vibration settings

• Vibration Alerts During Workout: Configure vibrations on your watch to notify you at different states of your static workout. This helps you stay aware of where you are in your session without needing to look at your watch.
• End-of-Session Vibration: Enable a setting that will start vibration on your watch at the end of the session, so you know exactly when to get out of the water. This is especially useful for pool training when you need precise timing.

These settings allow you to personalize your training experience and ensure you receive the right notifications at the right times during your static apnea sessions.

Step 5: Preview and Send to Garmin

After selecting "Send to Watch", you'll see a preview of your workout with all the details that will be synced to your Garmin device. Review the workout structure, intervals, and parameters. When you're ready, click the Garmin Connect button at the top to initiate the sync.
