Can one access the widget loop while in an Activity on the fenix 6?

Trying to figure out if, and if so, how, to access the widget loop while in and Activity.

I believe that on the fenix 5 you could do so by holding the lower left button, but that does not seem to work on the 6.

Any suggestions?

You can - press and hold the Back/Lap button and it takes you to the watchface, where you can use Up/Down to navigate the widgets. Then Press the Triangle (start) button to return to the activity.

Not working for me on the 6 pro. Do I need to set a hot key for this?

You can create a hot key to take you to the watch face. From there use the up/down arrows to see the widgets.

Menu / System / Hot Keys - set any one of them to "Watch Face"

On some other devices, the hot key option is "Widget". Basically does exactly the same thing.

Great thanks for that. I'd been looking for a widget short cut but, as you said it wasn't there.
