I've been using a fitness watch in my pocket for years. They don't cause guilt;they're just devices. Where the guilt lies is with people thinking moving their arms is am indicator of moving one's legs/feet. It's ridiculous. Fitness watches are simply fashion statements. I've had a fitbit in my pocket. It doesn't tell me what to do-I do. I started with short walks and went up a little at a time. 15 miles a day isn't out of the ordinary for me. That coupled with restricting my diet to 1200 cal per day turned into losing 56 pounds in 92 days. Hard work pays off.
