i think this feature is available on other watches but with my forerunner 235 when i forget to switch off autolap, it messes everything up and data is quite unusable.
Thank you
not as far as I have ever seen in the settings, online or forum. However if you are doing shorter intervals (shorter then your 'autolap' distance(for me 1mile)) - you can just keep hitting the back arrow(lap) button on the lower right of the watch to trigger the manual lap. Then you will never get to your autolap until the interval portion is over.
At least that is what I have experienced (i think....) - then often I wait until I get to around a mile marker during cooldown...hit manual lap one last time as close as I can to the mile mark. Say at... '4.01' ....then from that point on the autolap will occur every mile at 5.01.....6.01
Yes – manually per instance, that is, if you don't want to ‘automatically’ disable auto-lap for every activity tracked with a particular activity profile as a blanket approach. It won't help you in the instances in which you forget to do so. As well, on the FR235 you cannot create additional activity profiles, and so you cannot have one Run profile with auto-lap disabled (which you'll use for custom workouts with intervals) and another one (with a different name, but based on Run) with auto-lap enabled that you can use for other running activities.
If you never run indoors, you could try repurposing the Run Indoor activity profile as a work-around.
There is no setting by which you can instruct the device to observe your preferences (and expect it to diligently do so) as its user in that regard.
