Wearables May Be Making Us Less Active | Jersey City News
Description
New research reveals a surprising downside to fitness trackers: users are moving 20% less than before, as they shift from internal motivation to relying on device metrics. Instead of walking for joy or health, people wait for trackers to hit targets — and stop when they don’t. This tech-driven approach risks disconnecting us from our natural rhythms and can even breed anxiety over unmet goals. The study calls for smarter tracker design that prioritizes well-being over numbers — reminding us that while tech can help, it shouldn’t replace our own instincts.
