Are there any watches where you can freeze the time (the actual time, not
the time on a stopwatch) until you've had a chance to to log it and
calculate your position - and then un-pause the time so the watch returns
to
the now current time?

Yes, it's called a memory. If you are competent enough to sail/boat, use
logs, and calculate your position, you ought to be able to remember a time
count on a watch for a few minutes while you calculate. If not, just write
down the time first before you begin calculating your position.

I fail to see the need for a watch that you can pause.
