Thank you everyone for the information and help. Its fun turning the large gears but I'm worried about injury and prefer to spin as it feels more natural to me.

I'd probably go with something lime green or just a really bright color in general. I can't really say how I'd want it to fit in with other colors though. The upside is it'd be more visible too.

I currently use mine as a bike computer so it sits on my handlebars. Otherwise I'd put it in a jersey pocket. If you don't like jerseys, you can get an armband like most runners.

If you are looking for something cheap that works well look at the amazfit bip. It's about $80 and does everything that most $120-$150 watches do. Definitely worth looking into.
