Abstract

Smart wearable devices have taken the market by storm. They are now their own device category on the consumer market, their popularity is unquestioned due to their ever-increasing set of functionalities and the vigorous competition between some of the biggest companies, and they seamlessly integrated into our everyday lives, as well as into professional contexts. New models appear on the market regularly, particularly since the sensory system of such devices is continuously developing, adding more ways of data acquisition and processing, along with projections and analyses. However, while the devices of certain subcategories are nearly identical with regard to their core functionalities, there may be significant differences in their specifications. Furthermore, the delivery of specifications towards the users is highly manufacturer-dependent and lacks coherent standardization. This is particularly relevant to professional contexts, such as defense, where individuals competently familiarizing themselves with their personal devices is essential. In this paper, we investigate the delivery of the specifications of the state-of-the-art smart wearable devices. We separately study the commonalities and best practices by device subcategories and usage contexts. We also highlight certain deviations on the current market and provide recommendations for the further evolution of such practices. The paper introduces the results of a study on documentation-related user behavior as well, in order to support future research.
