turn off auto save feature

I would also really appreciate to be able to disable the auto save. It’s really annoying to need to dismiss it repeatedly. And I would like to pause the tracking while I am sitting somewhere but know that I will continue my ride so that slight movement in the place is not tracked.

Bump for this. That or a way to pause your ride for a longer period of time. I like to ride my bike to stores, and I don't need to track fitness time when I'm just in there shopping.

Hello! The auto save is defaulted to the device and it can not be disabled.

Your best option at present is probably to record separate rides rather than trying to pause for longer periods in the middle of a ride, since you'd be interacting with the watch to pause anyway, so there's not a huge convenience advantage to pausing versus recording separate activities. A convenient way to combine multiple activities into one (currently only possible by merging the FIT files with the activity data using third-party tools, then uploading to Connect) would help with the current state of affairs, though that's a Connect feature request rather than a request specific to the band, and, sadly, a long-standing one (suggesting it's not especially likely, though activity trimming was added not too long ago, and this is the same category of feature, so they're not ignoring after-the-fact activity editing features entirely).

I, too, would like a pause feature without the autosave timeout (could be easily integrated with the existing activity options - save, discard, resume, and pause), but I don't think it's going to be a high priority for the development team.

are you for real? we go skitouring and take few mins to take off skins and acitvity gets autosaved. why this is not optional and changeable?

Please make it where we can disable it!!! Thank you!!!

We are the users and we paid for your awesome products but please listen to us, please let us disable auto save!

YES, I would like to turn off auto-save.  Or bump it to 1 or 2 hours!
