      @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.

                                      @DMytro If you go to sleep, the next activity is a new activity, unless it’s a multi day hike/run and I’d like to have it logged as one activity.

                                          @TrailEyes - how long does it take your HR to get back in line…
                                          Normally within 2 mins my HR is back within zone 1 maybe still a zone 2 depending on how hard I have been pushing it.
                                          So would then pause at this point in time - you would probably stop the activity.
                                          30mins later I resume, you start. I have one activity at the end, you have 2 - 3 activities. I just prefer the cleaner look of one activity, especially as I can see the whole track of what we have done, I don’t have to add up 3-4 tracks to see total distance, I don’t have to restart the navigation each time etc etc. Just a lot more convenient.

                                          Also if tracking a walk into town and or a walk around a park or historical house and gardens etc and you end up going in and out of buildings - especially in and out of buildings just pausing your activity can end up taking quite a hit on GPS as it burns more battery trying to get maintain a fix in an area it can’t. And while sure i have battery to burn, and its not going to prevent me from being able to track that day, the difference is that using resume later I still only need to charge say once a week, rather than having to charge twice that week.

                                            This is an interesting discussion, if enough demand for it we should have this but….I will never use it. Since I run ultras, I never pause the watch because all the time on my feet counts in a race. I typically do not record activities where I am not exercising so going in and out of places is not an issue. When out on long runs I do not pause for filtering water or slowing down/stopping to eat since in a race the clock will keep ticking. Thinking of a 320k ultra the year after this, my watch would run even when sleeping since the race has a time limit.
                                            I realize for different individuals this matters. I would make your desires known to Suunto as they try hard to meet customer wishes.
