I use the clock and a mix of various destinations to make sure I will walk enough. For that I just need a good old wrist watch for that, without any tracking included.
Walking also helped me lose quite some extra-weight, so if I may say so myself: congrats, that's great :)
Nice! Yeah I know tracking may not be "required" but for me it's not always easy to quantify especially on days when the weather is bad. I probably will be switching one day to a lower tech solution like a pedometer, given this article. Those are like $15.
