You aren't going to see it zooming across the heavens. Wiki says "the 10.3 arcseconds it travels in a year amount to a
quarter of a degree in a human lifetime, roughly half the angular diameter of the full Moon."
You'll have to keep a close eye on it to see it move.

You'll have to keep a close eye on it to see it move. "Keep a close eye" only in the figurative sense: Bernar's Star has an apparent visual magnitude of +9.5. It would thus have to be about 25 times brighter to be just barely visible to the unaided eye.

Barnard’s Star has the largest proper motion observed yet.
