I think the implementation and concept of During Activity / General Use makes a lot of sense because:
- recording an activity is a huge deal on a Garmin (it's the main point of Garmin watches)
- you can only record 1 activity at time
- while an activity is being recorded, there's many things you can't do (like launch a CIQ device app from the app/activity launcher, launch another built-in activity, or sync with Connect). (Idk if all of these things are true on Fenix 8 though)
Basically when an activity is being recorded, the watch is in an entirely different mode ("During Activity") compared to when an activity is not being recorded ("General Use").
It's not like an Apple Watch, where you can just switch from app to app, and what 1 app does has no effect on any other running apps.
