   I still use a FitBit Flex 2. I wear a traditional watch on my non-dominant    
   wrist, and the flex on my dominant wrist. I think the term I read was    
   "polite computing", where technology is there to assist without being    
   disruptive.   
      
   It's got 5 LEDs and a vibration feature. If you tap it, it'll tell you how    
   what fraction of your step count you've met so far. It'll vibrate to wake    
   you silently, to remind you to move every hour, and when you get a text    
   message. Otherwise, it's unobtrusive.   
      
   It also tracks sleep pretty well, although it doesn't do heart rate    
   monitoring and can't track what level of sleep you're in.   
      
   I'll be sad when it dies, they haven't made them for a couple of years.
