In a period last (or previous?) winter I chased sattelites based on this great page and concerning starlinks I only had luck with using a monocular (or binocular of course). Perhaps partly because my eyesight is not that sharp as it was in childhood and also this area is moderately light polluted. I only have a 8x magnification monocular (lower would be better) which made the chase of the moving stream of satellites difficult but equally exciting and spectacular. It is a bit of luck catching the satellites through the lens (in which the page helps tremendously showing where to look in real time), the magnification amplifies the speed in front of the stars and consequently the observation turns into a high speed chase. Occasionally I seen slow moving, lone, bright ones with the naked eye but those were boring compared to the high speed chasing of a stream of elusive dots. : )
