You can change the Wake Duration in the Watch App > Display and Brightness > Wake Duration > Set it to 70 sec.

You can turn off the passcode in the Watch App > Passcode > Turn Passcode Off. Note that when you put on your Apple Watch, it should only ask you for the passcode once then not ask again until you take it off. Make sure your band is snug so it can detect its on your wrist. It also isn't recommended to disable the passcode as you will lose core features such as Apple Pay.
