feature-request: resume later

Many watch-apps work as an activity. It would be great if we could trigger "Resume later" programmatically to save battery.

Ideally this would enable us to temporalily save the fit session and resume it later, just like it happens in built-in activities, including if the user plugs in the device to charge it or for some reason the device is rebooted.

Currently the only way to achieve something similar is for the user to use a shortcut (i.e long press the back button) to go back to the watch face.

    Maybe I should've only ask for the feature: Resume later, without mentioning one possible reason for using it. Clearly there are more reasons.

    In fact I would be happy to be able to resume more than one session. For that my use case would be that I could start an app with Walking, another with cycling, another with running, then switch between them numerous times during the day, and save 1 walk, 1 cycling and one run activity at the end of the day. I don't think that Garmin will provide this, neither for technical and probably not for phylosifical reasons, so I don't even ask for it. But to be able to suspend and then later resume a session is possible in native activity, so I hope this one makes more sense, and higher chance that it'll ever be added.
