Hike activity not restarting when using auto pause

I find this a peristent problem. Garmin even changed the watch but the issue clearly lies with the software. The watch restarts fine in any other mode but Hike.

Does it work for walking? Slower activities usually don't work good with auto pause. Better to no use that function at all. Press the button yourself.

Hi, it does appear to work better in Walk mode. But maybe as you suggest it is better to turn the auto pause off. It’s a pity Garmin won’t admit this shortcoming rather than pretend everything is working as it should.

yeah for slower activities like walking/hiking it can be tricky to do autopause, the setting appears to just be above/below a certain MPH... however for something like walk/hike...it should be a certain MPH over a longer period of time, not just your instant/live speed. because with twist and turns and uphill... might never get above the speed...but clearly if you looked at the data you'd say "oh yeah, clearly not paused"... programmers just haven't really accounted for the activities real use case I guess.
