Several basic things that I can't figure how to do

I have several needs that I believe are basic but I can't figure out how to do. Any help is appreciated.

How can I change the duration of a complete workout on Apple Health. I frequently forget to start or stop my Workouts on my Apple Watch invalidating the app data for that workout. My runs, for example, frequently include me taking a shower and relaxing on the sofa. I'd like to "re-bracket" my workout periods.
How can I show my step count on the face of my Apple Watch without having to go into the Fitness app.
How can I set an alarm (not a notification) on my iPhone that goes off on a specified time and date. Not just time of day but time of day on a specific date. Notifications are too common and passive.

Apple Watch Series 10

I use "Alarmed"

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/alarmed-reminders-timers/id371886784

It is very configurable, and all the alarms generated on the iPhone appear on my Apple Watch.

The "Free" features should do exactly what you want. There is an in-app purchase that adds more features, but the free part is still very capable.

Alarm: set it on your iPhone via the clock app

Steps on your face: see if there is a complication for that, but I don’t know if there is

Editing workout: see if you can edit the workout via the health app (I don’t think you can tho)

Thanks. I guess you’re saying it can’t be done within iOS? That’s a bummer. Seems like such a basic feature.

Thanks for the response but I was hoping to hear that someone has actually succeeded in using these features and knows specifically how to implement them. I’ve been unsuccessful figuring out how.
