Accidental break up from tracking

[StefanoMorgan]

Yesterday i was on a route in the hills. Then I decided to make a break and pressed the “paused button” and put down my backpack and the “ending- Button” was pressed with my wrist. Suddenly he finished the tracking and there was no chance to get back to it.
So my suggestion is to make a 2nd screen with" are you really sure to stop tracking?" to avoid this problem.
I think I’m not the only one who happend this.
Or are there other ways to avoid that?

Thanks!

@Stefan-Labler You can lock buttons even in pause mode. Long press the lower button to do so. Unfortunately it’s the same button as used for ending the activity, so I always feel a bit insecure while doing that

[StefanoMorgan]

@inkognito OK thank you i didn’t know that!

[gerasimos]

@inkognito in that case… it’s good a message SURE DELETE to give you a second chance in a accidental press
Because same button for delete and lock its like climbing without a rope

@gerasimos it’s for ending, not deleting. To delete you have to end the activity, scroll down, select delete, and then confirm. So there are already some checks before you can delete an activity

[gerasimos]

@isazi yup !! My mistake…

at least in activity and pause mode we have a lock button

Yes, but I’ve always wanted ALSO a lock button when not in activity mode just like My Ambits had.
I really miss not having a lock button when in the home screen for example for when I stash my watch in my pack but not track. Last time, it mush have touched some buttons and it reset my watch !?!!??

I think somewhere in the forum is exactly same discussion…
Anyway, I will not recommend that, it will give more value just to have a ‘continue activity’ from the log view. Just go to the list of the activities and then ‘raise and continue’

Off course other problems will immediately come, like, what happens if this activity has already sync?

@Frederic yes…!YESYES! .

My bike GPS, a Sigma one, the activities are always the same until you actively finish it. I mean, if I go for a ride, finish it and turn off the GPS, the next ride I will continue that activity. I have to actively finish the activity to start a new one. Nothing is sync until the activity is finished (to finish an activity I have to long press on button).

With this it is very difficult that you finish and activity unintentionaly and it is a nice solution for a multiple days activity but on the other hand you could end up with a very loooong, non intended, activity.

Maybe suunto should also ask for confirmation before finishing the activity.
