Don't rely on just one indication. If you do, you are not looking at the whole picture.
Exactly!

On takeoff, you wait to hear all the ground-safety locks click before you look for corroborating instrument indications. That also helps the wait for dips in Altitude and/or V/S after rotation.

On go-around, there are no ground safety locks to worry about. Wait for 2 instruments (Altitude and V/S) to indicate climb. If over the runway, RadAlt is good, too.
