Is there an easy way to find the actual time during an activity (WITHOUT adding it as a datafield?).
Currently I long-press top left into the Control Wheel, select Stop-Watch, which has a SMALL time of day clock at the top, and then just back out back to the activity.
Is there a control I'm missing that has a larger time of day display, or some method of getting to the regular Watch face or similar?
Really, you should try and read the manual when you invest 900$ on something, otherwise the fault is only yours.
BTW, you go to system -> hotkeys -> choose "hold back" button -> change…
your back/lap button standard hotkey when long pressed should take you back to watch face. But seriously why would you even do that - just add a data field and or add data page with the time on it.
Just to follow up on this...I had no HotKey combinations left that I can feasibly remember in the middle of a long run (I don't like the dual key press ones), but realised one of my HotKeys jumps to something…
Long press Lap I have configured as Garmin Pay.
"And seriously why would I even do that" - because I have a set up I like and I don't want to add another screen for the time display that I VERY RARELY would refer to, and when I'm expecting to be able to temporarily hop outside of the Activity and find it available elsewhere.
Ideally the empty space in the top half of the control wheel could display the time 
Just to follow up on this...I had no HotKey combinations left that I can feasibly remember in the middle of a long run (I don't like the dual key press ones), but realised one of my HotKeys jumps to something I can access from Controls, so freed that up and set up a HotKey to Watch Face.
Problem solved
