No possibility to quit and resume the Trekking activity: so DISAPPOINTED

@elbee we all are puzzled on what the priority is. It would be interesting to see the results of the questionnaire that was sent out, and the delivery of features and bug fixes that came around.
-
Can I just ask why such a feature is needed? I had this on my Garmin when I did the Tour du Mont Blanc, which is a multi-day hike. I recorded each activity separately, as technically these are separate activities. Later on, I merged the GPX files to see the whole trek(just curious), but I prefer to keep them separate, as I slept between them, etc.

Oh, yeah. I would really like that. And why some bugs are left untouched for more than half a year. (and I think keeping a bluetooth connection to a heart rate sensor is some basic functionality)

@nico1234 You know what I am disappointed in? In people buying a watch for 600eur and coming here to complain that it does not have specific very important (for them) feature. You have 600eur to operate with, you can research which watch represents the things you would like to have and buy that one. You do not need to buy Suunto, you can buy Garmin/Coros/Polar that has the one function you need.
We all have the functions we need and the functions we do not need and I would never buy a watch that does not have features I really need.

I do some social rides on a bike and we have coffee half way. It’s convenient to use your watch as a watch during coffee break. And the gps is turned off, which saves battery life.
Have to say, I recently bought a wahoo bike computer because a watch with oled screen isn’t the best for navigation on a bike. A mips watch I had earlier I could attach to my steer and the display would always be visible.Also, during all day hikes, it’s convenient and saves battery, if you could stop the recording during lunch break. (If you pause and activity on a suunto, the gps chip is still active).
Personally, I would not use the resume later function for multiday events.

Yes, I wouldn’t use it for multi-day hikes either. But my use case might be different from others. I often run and stop somewhere to handle something, talk to people, or buy a few things. That is when this feature would be useful for me. The same goes for cycling.
I used to have a Garmin where I used this feature, and I knew when I bought the Vertical 2 that it wouldn’t have it. I just wanted to say that this is the feature I miss the most, but I can live with it. Everyone is different and uses things differently.

I would prefer merging activities in SA, ymmv ofc.

@nico1234 I agree, almost all brands now offer this function. I am testing an Amazfit Active 3 Premium, for 150€ this watch can save & resumen later, you can even go to the watch screen during an activity, open any of the apps and seamlessly go back to the activity without having any interruptions in it. Being blocked out of every function during and activity is not a good design decision no matter how you slice it.
