      You can switch off GPS in the settings during a pause. Just long press the middle button and change the GPS to off in the battery settings.
      OHR I don’t know if it can be disabled…

        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.
