I've been considering buying an apple watch just for the stats. I really don't like how my co-workers watches light up when the move, or when they receive a message, so I wonder if I can turn off everything except health stat collection, at which point the whole thing seems a bit absurd.

If that's your only showstopper you can change that in settings. Look up Raise to Wake[1] and Notifications[2] in Settings. I'm usually using Theatre Mode which keeps the screen off until an alarm or I wake it up and have pretty much all notifications off. I still get heavy use of the watch itself for timers, reminders, calendar, tracking workouts and health stats and whatnot so I'm very happy with it.
