Purpose of scrolling fields in a workout?

In the workout app in a Outdoor run or an Outdoor walk, etc. you can use the digital crown to highlight the different fields. What is the purpose of being able to do this? Is there some functionality that I'm missing?

I don't think there is any added functionality from this, aside from making a particular field more visible. I find that it makes it easier to view at a quick glance, as the highlighted metric stands out more from the other numbers on the screen.

It changes the color to highlight and catch your eye quickly while you are glancing at your watch. You pick which metric is most important and highlight it.
