Accuracy and Acceptability of Wrist-Wearable Activity-Tracking Devices: Systematic Review of the Literature

Federico Germini et al.

Summary: This study conducted a systematic review of the accuracy and acceptability of wrist-wearable activity trackers. The results showed that Fitbit Charge and Fitbit Charge HR had good accuracy in step counts, while Apple Watch was accurate in measuring heart rate. However, none of the tested devices proved to be accurate in measuring energy expenditure. Efforts should be made to reduce heterogeneity among studies.
