This research investigates factors influencing the actual usage of wearable fitness devices. Based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology, the authors propose that privacy concerns, social influence, data accuracy, device engagement, and user efficacy impact the actual usage of wearable fitness devices performance and effort expectancy. Based on 124 responses using the structural equation approach, most hypotheses were supported. The social influence had the strongest indirect effect through performance expectancy, while user efficacy had the strongest indirect effect through effort expectancy. Data accuracy and device engagement had a positive influence on actual usage and privacy concerns negatively affected the device's use.
本研究调查了影响可穿戴健身设备实际使用的因素。基于统一技术接受和使用理论，作者提出隐私担忧、社会影响、数据准确性、设备参与度和用户效能会影响可穿戴健身设备的实际使用、绩效和努力期望。通过结构方程方法得到的 124 个回复中，大多数假设得到了支持。社会影响通过绩效期望产生的间接影响最大，而用户效能通过努力期望产生的间接影响最大。数据准确性和设备参与度对实际使用有积极影响，隐私问题则对设备使用产生负面影响。
