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.
