Except that with my proposal, everyone has the option to do things “both ways,” so I can record sessions before and after lunch and see them as either two events or a single event. Your proposal means we only get one event unless there’s a reverse idea from what I propose, to “split” a session into multiple views, which seems more complex. And as I note earlier, I’d be concerned an extended paused event in abeyance would be prone to data loss, especially if doing other things on the watch. Asking for a week long “single event session” to be continually alternating between running then paused seems like asking for trouble.
Adding resume later feature also let’s everyone do it both ways. If you don’t want to pause and resume later, then you can choose not to and start a new activity the way you do today.
My activities auto sync to Strava and Strava does not allowing combining activities. It is possible to combine tracks using 3rd party tools but they are tedious and don’t always work. Plus when you upload the combined activity to Strava, most other native watch data is lost.
If pausing an activity works, then it shouldn’t matter how long it’s paused. This has always worked flawlessly on my Garmin.
