FEATURE REQUEST: "Resume Later"

That's exactly what I posted above - old/cheap Amazfit GTR has this "feature" (in my opinion it is basic functionality but let's call it a feature) - you can pause an activity and resume it later no matter how long (hours) you keep it paused.

"Pause & DO NOT autosave after xx minutes" is a simply form of "Resume later"

Yes, please add "resume later", very useful during a SUP session to take a swim and then continue my journey. (Garmin Venu 2 plus)

I would like it too, it was on my forerunner 645. I use it when I walk to my work in the morning and back in the evening so it's shown in 1 activity instead of 2 in for example Strava

The previous discussion on this important issue has been going on for over 2 years. Why has Garmin not allowed Venu 2 users to do "resume later" of an activity? Based on the previous discussion, it is greatly wanted and needed and lesser garmin models have it.

Just bought a Venus 2. Can’t believe it doesn’t have this function ‍ 

I know this is an old post and can't think Garmin will add this feature (I have added my with anyway), but it would make perfect sense on such a watch as the Venu sq/2. As a casual user, I often record a walk that involves lunch etc and therefore would like to manually pause the activity. I have used auto-pause on a previous Garmin and it didn't work so well when I went inside; it was constantly searching for a satellite and making a crazy collection of lines on the map. I think it works better when stopped outside perhaps. Manual pause just seems like a sensible solution on this watch.
