Researchers have found in the first review of its kind that clocking miles on fitness trackers, pedometers, and smart watches increases physical activity and encourages users to walk up to 40 minutes more each day, resulting in an average of one kg (2.2 lb) of weight loss over five months.
The findings from the University of South Australia (UniSA) are a systematic review of almost 400 peer-reviewed studies involving 164,000 people across the world using wearable activity trackers.
