| Resumen |
This study presents a comparative analysis of various activity wristbands to evaluate their suitability as a tool for collecting human activity among university students. The research examines key factors such as battery life, data extraction methods, file formats, integrated sensors, and developer support. The results reveal significant differences in device capabilities, with the Garmin Venu 3 offering the most comprehensive sensor suite but at a high cost, while the Fitbit Inspire 3 provides a cost-effective alternative with essential monitoring features. The study highlights the importance of compatibility with data processing tools and the ability to extract information efficiently for research applications. These insights contribute to the selection of suitable wearable devices for academic studies. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2025. |
