Receive real-time voice alerts and audio updates during activities, so you can remain focused on your workout. The voice alert feature will broadcast activity alerts, laps, workout details, turn alerts, and more.
Either pair your headphones with your COROS watch or your smartphone (required for DURA), or receive voice alerts from your phone's speakers instead - ideal for indoor activities or situations where headphones are unavailable. Please ensure the COROS app is open and running in the background in order to play voice alerts from your phone speaker.

FAQs
Yes. On COROS NOMAD, APEX 2, APEX 2 Pro, APEX 4, APEX 4, VERTIX 2, VERTIX 2S: Any music currently playing will be paused for the duration of the Voice Alert, and will resume after the alert ends. On PACE 3 and PACE Pro, the volume of music will be lowered but not paused completely.
The Wi-Fi search may take up to 3 minutes, and during this time, you are not able to exit the Wi-Fi search. Please wait until the Wi-Fi connects successfully or times out.
Voice alerts may interrupt each other. More important reminders will interrupt less important ones; this is intentional.
There is a compatibility issue with some headphones, and our team is working to resolve this in a future update. Currently, there is a known issue with Vivo headphones specifically. We recommend changing your headphone settings to play music in AAC format. Please reference your headphones user manual to do so, or contact our support team for assistance.
If you are outside the target range for a short duration, you'll see a prompt on the watch screen. If you are outside this range for a longer time (at least 30 seconds), you'll receive an alert via the watch screen and voice alerts. If you remain outside the range for an additional 30 seconds longer, you'll receive another alert via the watch screen and voice alerts. If you remain outside the range for over 1 minute, the voice alert will not be repeated, and the alert will show on the watch screen only.
