Most funny for me was on MTB. I have bike sensor. It measured speed less than 2km/h on big climb and put me on autopause even my pedaling rpm was around 30 rpm.

@t-Dox said in Autopause too aggressive for slow or climbing activities:
@Tieutieu Hi, I agree with you that the pause is part of a journey. In fact, if I go on a long trek with my girlfriend or friends, I also turn off the autopause. However, last year, I used it a lot to monitor the progress of a workout. This way, if I meet a friend on the street, I can stop to talk and say hello calmly, without compromising the training measurements. Otherwise, you can’t stop to talk to anyone without compromising the time recording…
Or since this is training and you stopped it is recorded. I do not pause or use auto pause when running. If I stop an talk with a friend that is reflected in my workout as the stop reduced my effort and HR changing my workout. I want that recorded.
The only time I use auto pause is road cycling for stop lights.

@Tomas5 I agree with you. In MTB sport mode, when you are on a big climb, sometimes the watch goes in auto-pause status. Maybe it will be good adjust the watch setting for some sport mode.

The solution is simple, yet complicated.
Instead of 100 kinds of fake sports modes, just fewer but real ones.
Autopause, distance when navigation messages are displayed, elevation gain, button function and many other things should be tailored to the given activity.
Now there are 100 activities that only have slightly different configured information screens.
Everything else is rigidly set mainly for running.The problem is that Suunto doesn’t know what user options are. Everything has to be hard coded with no option to change it - unfortunately often completely pointless for a given activity.
-
But after the last update, the autopause option is working for you? On my watch no matter if it’s mtb or running for me it’s impossible to use. It’s blinking (enable/disable) when I’m moving.
-
Many years ago I used a pedometer app (Accupedo) on my smartphone: once the counting stopped the app started counting again only after 10 consecutive steps. That was very simple and effective, I tested it many times and it always worked like a charm. Maybe for slower activities (as walking) a similar approach could be used for restart an activity after it has been auto-paused, the algorithm could be improved by using both GPS and accelerometer data.
-
@Stefano-M64 i think they should combine steps and speed for walk, not just speed. And for bike rpm and speed should work. But not everybody has bike pod. And i don’t know how easy or hard it is implement in watch itself.

@Tomas5 Just make different thresholds for different sports types. That’ll be enough.

triggers for low thresholds could be difficult to compute reliably because of uncertainties in the GPS data, especially when there is no clear view of the sky
-
@Stefano-M64 use average speed in time windows, not just when it’s below 2 kmh. For 10 sec for example.
