The value in these things is in getting to know what typical readings are when hot, cold, at idle, and running so atypical readings can tip you off if something starts going wrong.

They aren't magic but better than the "you're fvcked now" light, IMHO.
I had a 82 ford pck up with a straight 6 and the temp gauge never moved until one day at a light and it moved. I thought O crap light changed and dame thing overheated.
