As of 2019, there are approximately 56.7 million people in the U.S. who wear smartwatches and fitness trackers, many using them for the latter function.
According to a recent study published in The American Journal of Medicine, there isn’t evidence that correlates lower cholesterol or lower blood pressure to fitness tracker use. Only one of the six studies showed a correlation with weight loss. However, this doesn’t mean these devices aren’t useful to some people.
The studies determined that fitness trackers were useful in improving the health of adults living with type two diabetes.
