May a crew member wear a FitBit like device on duty?

Explanation:
Wearing a Fitbit-style wearable on duty is not allowed due to safety and operational rules about personal electronic devices. Such devices can distract you during critical tasks, might snag on equipment, or vibrate and pull your attention at the moment you need to focus. They can also raise privacy or security concerns if they transmit data or monitor activity in a way that could affect the work environment. Because of these risks, the policy prohibits on-duty wear of these devices regardless of camera visibility or other conditions. The other options would imply allowances during non-duty periods or depending on whether a camera can see the device, but the rule applies during duty hours and does not hinge on camera view.
