Abstract
  • Using the Scopus database, this report provides a bibliometric analysis of studies focusing on the adoption of smartwatches. Smartwatches have become a popular category of wearable technology, providing more features than just keeping track of the time. These features include productivity boosts, communication, and health monitoring. Although their growing appeal, a thorough examination of the academic literature on smartwatch adoption is necessary. This study's bibliometric analysis provides information about publishing patterns, well-known authors, and the development of this field's knowledge. This study improves our understanding of the factors affecting smartwatch adoption while highlighting areas for future research and improvement in this quickly developing sector by looking through a large dataset of academic articles.
