Is it possible to adjust the sensitivity of "When Stopped" for Auto Pause?

When I'm walking my dog my watch pauses every time we stop to smell something, sometimes even when I'm still moving slowly. Then when we start walking again it waits until I've walked half a block to resume tracking. This ends up recording less than half of my actual mileage. Is it possible to make it less sensitive to stopping, like pause after I stop for one minute?

You can customize your Auto Pause feature using the 'custom' option.

I see that option but I don't understand the setting, what does 60:00/mi mean? If I want it to wait 1 minute before pausing do I set this option to 1m or 59m, or is that even how it works?

Is this not the opposite of what electromagnet was asking for? With this option he'll lose even more miles.
