Music control as Data Screen

Great question - I swear my old 245 had that option or what even my 965 used to be setup with a screen during a run you could see song and music control... hmm... following topic.

is there a better way mid run to quick get to music?  Now that I thought of it, I did just add it to my 'control' wheel of shortcuts (press hold upper left button, fairly easy to get to during a run/pause/etc ...vs press hold middle left button , scroll down, etc)

Press and hold the DOWN button (bottom left) to open the music controls. That hot key opens music controls by default, so it'll work unless you've changed what it does in the hot key settings.

I think old Forerunners which didn't support onboard music may have had the music controls (for your phone) as a data page, but ofc to interact with the controls, you would have to hold a button to change the mode of the page. (Similar to how you have to change the mode of the map page to pan/zoom.)

So it wasn't really any faster than the current hold DOWN shortcut.

Hello, thanks for your responses. I expected the watch to have that feature on a data page. As its faster and more easy. Even if I use the music button i have to klick 2 Times in the menu and on volume control to change the volume. So there is no way to add music to a data page or just swipe left/right during running to change song/volume?
