      @Jamie-BG sure, different people have different use cases. As I said, I thought I would miss it when switched from Garmin, but I didn’t. If before when stopping to have lunch in a hut I would do resume later, now I just pause the activity. I know, the watch will consume some battery, more than with resume later, but battery life today is not the issue it was 5 years ago for me.

        @DMytro I don’t use Coros and Polar, so I don’t know about them. My primary watch has this function and it works like a charm. As I’m writing now I’m with a paused activity which I’m going to resume in 30 minutes. No need to have the gps searching for satellites when I’m inside.

          As someone who never used this kind of feature when I was with Garmin and never considered this as something I’ve wanted in the years since, what is the use case for a long-pause activity function? I genuinely don’t know.

          It would seem that taking a 30+ minute break, let alone a few hours’ break, before resuming an activity would drastically change how your body responds to the stress of exertion, making it more appropriate to register these as separate activities rather than as one long one.

            @skifun I was just trying to say that since other watches have no / limited implementation of the feature, it means that the feature itself is not basic, don’t you think?

            But I understand the need for this feature and I also voted for it in the survey.

              @TrailEyes 30 minutes break during a simple city walk doesn’t change anything for me. So, yes I prefer to resume it later than record separate activities separated with 30 minutes window. And that’s how I do it. Very simple function. If need it, use it, if you don’t need it don’t use it. For me it’s unbelievable that this function is not present in my 9pp.

                If you want your multi-day hike for convenience to be stored as one activity - I totally get that.
                If I make a lunch break for a single-day hike I also have no desire to start two different activities tbh.

                  @DMytro Yes, I definitely believe it’s a basic function. If I liked Coros or Polar I would’ve bought a watch from them. Still, voting for such a simple function is a nonsense. It should be in the watch.

                    “Resume later” would be a useful feature to be able to resume activity if you finish it accidentally (or if the watch reboots and finishes the activity itself…).

                    That feature is included in Garmin watches, isn’t it?

                      @skifun Thanks. I always appreciate understaing how other people use devices, especially if they’re different than mine.

                        When I did a 4-day hike last summer using S9P, I’d have loved this “Resume later” feature.
                        Just because how nicer is it to see it as a single multi-day activity in Suunto App rather than 4 separate ones.
                        I’ve lived this hike as a single aventure, and I’d rather have this reflected within SA (the “source of truth” when it comes to my sport activities).
                        Using pause is not practical when pause lasts for several hours/a night because when I was not moving, I wanted to use the rest of the watch features which is not possible in pause mode.
                        Is there already a feature suggestion in the forum that I can upvote?

                              @taziden I disagree on this use case 🙂 If I’m running a ultra and sleep a couple of hours per night, fine, it is the same activity, and in this case saving battery could be good, if I remember to start the activity again while sleep deprived, and then wait for the watch to reacquire GPS and such. If I am hiking and sleep for 8-10 hours during the night, it is not a single activity anymore, it is multiple ones.

                                @isazi I understand your points.
                                Another example of how I see it, with multiple activities, I’m unable to share my “adventure” with my friends from SA. Instead of a single track covering the whole GR, I only have fragments with multiple activities and have to send 4 links etc. Not nice.

                                  But maybe I should run my hikes and do them in one day instead of 4 😄

                                    @taziden fair point. There are also services made exactly to share multi-day adventures, e.g. adventurelog.io 🙂
                                    So I get the sharing with others, that could be a feature of the app, but the metrics would be all weird. Did you do a 24 hours activity, or four 8 hours ones? Is the effect on your body the same?

                                      True but I’d rather not use too much 3rd-party services, privacy concerns, etc.
                                      Having everything in SA is already a major trade-off for me.

                                      I get what you say but Suunto should rephrase its slogan:
                                      “Adventure starts here, then you stop your adventure for the night and start a new one next morning”

                                          it’s a philosophical question IMO. when you go to sleep, why resuming the previous activity again? it’s a new day, new activity etc…

                                            @freeheeler agree, but I guess it’s fair to let everyone decide on their own.

                                            E.g. I tend not to pause when I’m resting during the hikes ( unless I’m in a hut and GPS freaks out) to see realistic values of the time I need for ascent. This way I can use it as an estimate next time I’m doing the same route or smth similar.
