Can't return to the clock face when recording an exercise on my Versa 4

[OrlandoJohn]

When I am recording an exercise, like walking, I don't see any way to return to the watch face, maybe to see what time it is. Cannot scroll to it and the button pauses the recording.

Hi @OrlandoJohn - the display of the exercise can be customised by swiping up before you start it. That may help.

You can either do an excercise or show the clock face but can't switch between them as the watch can only do one at a time.

Thank you for the quick reply. That's a real bummer though! I mean maybe while I'm exercising I want to know what time it is. But I can't do that unless I stop the exercise and then look and then start another exercise. Seems very impractical to me.

@OrlandoJohn - time should be displayable on the exercise screen, you can choose what is shown by customising it.

@OrlandoJohn   You can absolutely see the current time without leaving the Exercise app and I can help you with this.  You see a top, middle, and bottom stat on your screen while working out.  Each shortcut has its own default top and bottom stat.  Please open your Exercise app on your Versa 4 and choose the Walk shortcut.  Swipe up on the tiny "^" at the bottom of the screen.  Scroll down to the Show stats section.  Walk has distance as the top and elapsed time as the bottom.  You can change either of these to the current time (listed as Time of day), if that font is OK with you.  The middle stat is can be a long or short list of available stats and Time of day is there, too.  It will show the time in the largest available font.  You can scroll through the middle stats by swiping or tapping the screen, but you can always get to the current time.  You can make it the only middle stat, if you want.

Ah!  Ok I see that now.  This is a bit complex. Appreciate your help.
