“…A child recorded on average around 4 to 5 stories over two days. A challenge of sustained engagement has been noted with smartwatch use [54]. Users typically reported to discontinue use after the novelty factor wears off and the feel of the smartwatch recedes into the background.…”

“…Barfield and Caudell [15] define a wearable as a "fully functional, selfpowered, self-contained computer that is worn on the body ... (and) provides access to information, and interaction with information, anywhere and at anytime". Wearables typically possess three main capabilities: sensing (observing physical environments); analysis (analyzing observations); and communication (relaying information to other machines) [16]. Examples of modern wearable devices include smartwatches (e.g., Apple Watch [17]), wristbands (e.g., Nike Fuelband [18]), intelligent glasses (e.g., Google Glass [19]) and other less common device forms such as the Purple smart locket [20]).…”

Little is understood on how to design wearables for education, especially for children. We explore how smartwatches may allow children to see the world through the lens of science. In our study, 20 children are tasked to record stories related to specific scientific concepts in their daily life and drawing from their embodied experiences using a commodity smartwatch. Our findings describe the types of 'science stories' that the children capture through the smartwatch, and how the stories relate to science. From our findings, we elicit seven areas of future research needed to catalyze the design of wearable apps to support informal science learning for children.

“…Spil et al [54] categorise potential use cases for wearable technologies from a personal health standpoint and categorise the use cases to five main categories: sense, process, store, transmit and apply. Dibia [12] writes about design principles for wearables, aiming to address the challenges of sustained device use.…”

Despite large investments in smartwatch development, the market growth remains smaller than forecasted. The purpose of smartwatch use remains unclear, indicated by the lack of large-scale adoption. Thus, we aim to better understand the early adoption and everyday smartwatch use. We investigate a diverse usage data of smartwatches logged over a period of up to 14 months from 79 individuals between December 2015 and March 2017, one of the largest wearable datasets collected. First, we identify both explorative and accepted behaviours that users exhibit and further investigate how the individual usage traits and features differ between the two categories. Our analysis offers an insightful perspective on how smartwatch use evolves organically. Our results improve our shared understanding of smartwatch use and users adapting their use of smartwatch over time to match the capabilities of the technology by validating numerous findings from previous literature.
