Viewing current time during activity

Hey everyone - I've seen this asked a few other times but still have a question.  I'm going on a series of long hikes (10+ days of 10+ hours a day) and I need to minimize the battery drain as much as possible.  With this, I want to view the current time while I have my "Extended Hike" activity running.  The clock app that's a part of the activity shows the seconds, which I know drains the battery more.  I understand I can shortcut back to the main/normal watch face which I can customize more, but when I do this I always forget the activity is running (again, because I did it 10+ hours ago) and it ends up running all night and drains the battery.  

Is there a way to either A) add whatever custom watch face you want in place of the Clock in the activity?  or B) a way to disable the seconds showing on the built in Clock app in the activity?

Thanks!
