Hydration widget during activity

Hello there!

I´m on a Forerunner 955solar and using the garmin hydration widget and set up notifications for hydration intake. While I´m on the bike and have a bike activity running I also get those notifications and could add my intake. Once entered I can go back to my watchface and back to my activity from there.

So everything works as expected. But now to my question:

Let´s say I finish my 500ml bottle and want to add that to my hydration tracker - how on earth am I able to do that :) I didn´t find a way to get to my watchface (and access the tracker from there) or directly to the hydration widget. I have to wait for a notification to appear and take a pause and stop the activity, track the intake and resume my activity.

There must be an easier way - I know I could disable the lap button but I do need it for my workout. I also didn´t find a hotkey option to get to my watchface or to the hydration widget.

I would appreciate some help :)

You can assign Watchface to a hotkey, and then you can get to the watchface and widgets from anywhere. However, I experience issues with it. If I go to the watchface during an activity, sometimes the states are messed up, and my watch thinks I'm still in the activity even if I already stopped and finished it. I mean, the backlight settings behave like in an activity, and sometimes I also get back automatically to the START activity screen. :/ Looks like another bug.
