Manual Pause on "Walk" app

I'm a new Venu Sq owner. Would be wonderful if there was a Manual Pause on the "Walk" app. I don't want my "Walk" stats messed up if I pause for lunch in the middle of the walk. Am I missing some setting to do this?

    Yeah you are.  You can set it up to pause by bringing up the walk activity and tapping the little chevron at the bottom.  Auto pause is an option.  It works when you stop walking.  I’m not sure if it uses GPS or the lack of your wrist movement though.  I do know if I stop to chat with someone, or if I stop to drink water, it pauses and then re-starts when I start walking again (it gives you a vibration for each)

    Thanks CindiL. I understand the pause when I stop walking. But it starts automatically when I go and move around at lunch. I want to manually pause the WALK app, move around having lunch with the pause still in effect, and then manually start the WALK app again where I left off when I resume my walk again after lunch.

    Oh I see.  One way around it is to press the A button and do nothing when it takes you to the discard or save screen.  After 2 minutes it will give you a recover heart rate score.  You can ignore that and it will go back to the save, discard screen.  When you’re ready to start walking again press the A button again and it will resume.  I should note it will go to auto save after 15 minutes but you can just press the back/B button again and the timer will start over.
