Have you tried it? I do (or did until a month ago when it got stole at a gym locker room). I have the break alert set so I get a few hundred steps in at least once an hour and I do walk to work once a week or so if my step average has been lower than I’d like during the weekday. I definitely walk more due to my Fitbit. For now I’m checking my phone which is suboptimal.
And you don’t stare at it while working out. You might look at it to see if you’re above or below your target HR if you’re doing long distance running or if you’re doing HIIT. If you’re just trying to get your ass into the gym then yes it’s not that important but if you want to improve your time then it’s great.
I do admit it did give me “sleep anxiety” if my time to fall asleep was a bit longer than usual. The other con was it was a bit bulky so my sleeves would get caught often.
