I agree with you. In the first place, if he's trying to maintain the A he started with, he's trying to fight the natural effect of instruments warming as they're played. And trying in the process to make everyone else fight the same battle. In the second place, he's causing himself a significant visual distraction by trying to stay in touch with the tuner when he needs to watch the music and keep an eye on the conductor.
