I just got the Apple Watch 6. I’ve only worn Garmin fitness watches previously, so maybe I am missing something or am not operating the watch correctly. When I select an activity it counts you down from “ready” in 3 seconds and starts. Is there a way to change this to a manual start? When you stop a workout out you have to slide “back” one screen to press end. Is there a way to set the “end” or stop key on the main watch screen? These two items make an athlete using this watch extremely unfriendly.

If you tap the screen the countdown stops and the workout starts straight away,and you can't change the screen slide to stop the workout.
