I record my activities through the Strava App on my Pixel Watch 2 directly.

I have recently started pausing my activity during breaks and twice in the last 2 weeks I ended up accidentally pressing the "finish" button instead of "resume" after pausing because they are too close to each other.

 

I think at the very least, a confirmation before finishing the activity feels like a better experience. Or make the resume button more significant than the big finish button would also be helpful in avoiding such accidental button presses.

Moreover, the resume button also looks like a text rather than an actual button. 

There appears to be several usability issues with the recording functionality, including Save/Discard without a confirmation. But if Strava learns anything from the current backlash against the Edit Title popup, the confirmation popup should be a toggle.

Last year, Apple added a confirmation screen to the Apple Watch’s Workout app when ending an activity. There had been many complaints that it was too easy to end an activity inadvertently. After the confirmation screen was added, new complaints cropped up because some users didn’t want it (too many taps after a hard workout, sweaty fingers making the screen unresponsive, etc.). Now this confirmation is a toggle.
