Despite large investments in smartwatch development, the market growth remains smaller than forecasted. The purpose of smartwatch use remains unclear, indicated by the lack of large-scale adoption. Thus, we aim to better understand the early adoption and everyday smartwatch use. We investigate a diverse usage data of smartwatches logged over a period of up to 14 months from 79 individuals between December 2015 and March 2017, one of the largest wearable datasets collected. First, we identify both explorative and accepted behaviours that users exhibit and further investigate how the individual usage traits and features differ between the two categories. Our analysis offers an insightful perspective on how smartwatch use evolves organically. Our results improve our shared understanding of smartwatch use and users adapting their use of smartwatch over time to match the capabilities of the technology by validating numerous findings from previous literature.

尽管在智能手表开发方面进行了大量投资，但市场增长仍低于预期。缺乏大规模采用表明了智能手表的使用目的尚不清楚。因此，我们旨在更好地了解早期采用和智能手表的日常使用。我们调查了2015年12月至2017年3月之间79位个人在长达14个月的时间内记录的各种智能手表的使用情况数据，这是收集的最大可穿戴数据集之一。首先，我们确定用户表现出的探索性行为和接受性行为，并进一步调查两类用户的个人使用特征和特征之间的差异。我们的分析为智能手表的使用如何有机发展提供了深刻见解。
