Controls during workout

Hi everyone, 

I switched today from Venu 2 Plus to Fenix 8 and I have a few questions if you can help. BTW this is my 4th Garmin watch and my first Fenix.

Is there an easy solution to bring the watch face to quickly check the time during an activity? I saw that you can press the bottom right button and then press the small watch icon, but it not very convenient. I know that you can add a data screen to display the time, but this is not what I want.

Is there any solution to customize the music controls? I know I can use voice commands to control the music during an activity but I prefer to use the touch controla. With Venu 2 Plus it is extremely easy to play the previous song or increase the volume. With Fenix, you need to do multiple actions to accomplish the same result.

With Venu 2 Plus if I switch to the music controls, it will automatically switch back to the activity dashboard. I saw that Fenix does not do that. Is possible to customize the behavior?

Thanks in advance for your answers.
