Can you see livetrack status or start it directly on the watch?

Live track didn’t start on my run today. Turns out I didn’t have GC running on my phone*

I sensed it hadn’t but then again thought maybe I’d just missed the popup notification. My watch is on an armband so is a bit fiddly to use unless I stop. So I pressed on without knowing. 
Would have been great if I could have looked on the watch somewhere to see if it’s running or not. Or start it from the watch. Possible?

Pretty sure I can do both on my edge 830, but can’t find this answer for the fenix. 

*Why oh why can’t iOS just let apps auto start under certain conditions, ie if garmin connected via Bluetooth, run the GC app!
