Abstract

What are the drivers of consumers' adoption of smartwatches? Although smartwatches and other wearable devices are a promising technology, little research has been done to better understand potential adopters' decision making. The present study provides a first attempt at closing this research gap. Empirical results reveal perceived usefulness and visibility as important factors that drive intention. Theoretical and managerial implications are deliberated.
