Any way to disable auto-saving activity after 25 minutes?

I'm coming from using a Forerunner 630 - when you stop an activity, you're asked if you want to save it. If you don't save it, but don't discard it - that is, if you do nothing - the watch remains in that state until you start it again.

In the 935, you have to select "Resume Later" to do this.

Is there any way to allow the watch to behave like the 630? That is, to disable auto-saving after 25 minutes?

That'd be a convenient feature (if, like me, you don't always remember to select "Resume Later" ;-) ).

The obvious answer is press stop then resume later straight after every time you stop then you won't forget.

Well yes - I want an excuse to be lazy ;-)

But I think a way to disable that feature would be a good addition to the firmware.

I think the auto save is there now because if you press stop then do nothing for ages then logical to think you are done and you would be annoyed if you "lost" it or pressed start "tomorrow" and got 2 runs glued together etc

I can understand the logic of it. But a disable feature would be fine for people who knew that's what they wanted to do, of course.

Which, I would have to think, is Resume Later!

Maybe it would be helpful for all if a default action could be defined, which will be the active menu selection after an activity has been stopped. I would like to "Save" each time, so I would like to see that menu entry on the top, Tim wants "Continue later" and so on...

That's not the same thing (if you mean that I'd still have to select something from a menu at stop).

That'd be good. Or a default action that happens automatically, so no menu option need be selected... you would have it auto-save when stopped, I would have it auto-continue-later when stopped, etc.
