      We need a function to stop the activity and the possibility to resume it. Something like that has long been available in Garmin. Coros has also introduced something like that. A very cool feature during long all-day activities.

      @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos what do you think?

          @Maryn absolutely. Although I have seen Fusedalti kick in during a break and improve the altitude readings.

              Hey,
              I dream of this feature “resume later” for a while now!
              I have found a way to save battery by switching the GPS setting to Off or OK during long breaks. It helps a lot.

                in this “pause” mode I’m sometimes a bit scared that accidential button press ends or resumes the activity…
                …but I think I’m eccentric as I’m always afraid of unwanted button press… also in watch mode or during an activity when I would like to benefit from the touch function to swipe left and right to switch screens

                  It happened to me several times and i hate that.
                  Another trick is to keep the watch on setting screen!

                    @TELE-HO You can still lock the buttons even in pause mode. Just press long enough to not end the activity ☝

                    …or is exactly this what you are scared of? 😉

                      Yep i tried this option, it works!
                      But, yes there is a but, I don’t remember exactly but it was extremely painful to unlock buttons with auto-pause or pause and rainy condition.

                      Edit: perhaps, i forgot the long press to the lower button…

                        thanks, yes I haven’t had the opportunity to try or when I’ve had it I did not remember 😉
                        I’ll do it next time, thank you for the hint! 👍

                          I think that a watch that is aware of battery drain should propose after 5 or 10 minutes to continue the activity later or not…
                          And resume it later

                          It’s not safe to keep that pause mode for a long Time , nor it not safe to lock

                          Also an option to stop that unuseful OHR that permanently flashes even during a pause or when the watch if off your wrist…

                            @chrisc92 OHR / HR is helpfull for calories even during a pause. Among others also for 24/7 HR that is a no go if the user doens’t explicitly turn it off.
