FEATURE REQUEST: "Resume Later"

BikerWithAVenu2

Hi Garmin team!

Can you please implement the "Resume Later" functionality in the VENU 2.

It is currently not possible to pause an activity for a longer break, very liklely to happen during hikes or full day bike trips.

This feature is currently only available on Garmin's higher end watches, but I doubt that pro athletes will stop for a one hour lunch break and enjoy the view during their triathlon training.... but the more casual VENU 2 user might ;)

Would be great to get some feedback form Garmin folks here please.

Thanks!

    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 Face palm tone2‍

    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.

    The segmentation of features is so weird. The Forerunner 165 has resume later and options for the pause + auto save timeout, but the Venu 2 and 3 don't. And it's not like those are budget models. It's actually disappointing to not have these features when other watches do. Imo these should be standard features across all the models.

    Yes please! I can’t believe this post was 3 years ago and still nothing. I often do day hikes with long breaks and will either have to record many separate activities and use a 3rd party software like GoToes to merge them, or if the break is short I will keep preventing the activity from Auto Saving (but this doesn’t always work). It’s such a useful feature. Saves a ton of battery too.
