Not really, it’s better to check according to situations as the rear view mirror is small and you need to move your head a little to "scan" the area, as well as looking in the bottom left corner of the glasses which is not natural at first.
It is not as instant as a real and bigger rear view mirror so you might still want to look over your shoulder when not sure or in a rush.
But on a long straight line with plenty of time it works great. I’m still not 100% used to it tho as I had a bike accident shortly after buying them that took me off bike for 2 months (unrelated accident, I just got stuck on the tramway rails because I’m too used to city cycling and so, too confident…)
