I was surprised that the watch is the awkward thing to look at for you, as I have always found a phone to be awkward to look at while working out in any way. Learned a new perspective today.

What are you referring to by unicorn? I claimed that not all rational people believe such in all cases. There's trivially at least one such person in the world (as evidenced by this discussion).
