I wore a fitbit for a year or so, which was enough to tell me that I walk "many" steps a day - remarkably consistent amounts for weekdays, and then much more over the weekend. But nothing beats a decent watch. I have no problem pulling my phone out of my pocket if I want to interact with it, and it seems like most people who have notifications pushed to their wrists still do that. It's announce-only. I've got a 20 year old rolex I wear most days, and a couple of other mechanical watches, including an old Soviet piece made the year I was born. Each of my watches is used for a specific thing, which keeps them in regular rotation. (For example I have a sauna-watch, a photography watch, a swimming watch, a posh-event watch, etc. My only digital watch is a Casio F-91W which is used in the sauna.) Sure mechanical watches aren't perfect, and if you have one with a date you need to reset it if is one of a rotation, but they're classy, they're fashionable, and they're so much more practical than most smart-watches (largely due to the charging issues).
