Soumen Nath, Soumi Chakraborty and Dr. Kallal Banerjee

We can easily adopt a sedentary lifestyle thanks to our contemporary, technologically advanced society. However, technology can also motivate us to take better care of ourselves by expanding our access to telemedicine, physical therapy, and other healthcare services. Wearable technology Smart watches are increasingly becoming a necessary piece of medical technology. We can now manage our physical and mental health directly from our wrists thanks to the emergence of smart watches, which is revolutionizing healthcare in a completely new way. On the other hand it's easy to get lost in the sea of options in the wearable’s sector as a whole due to its extreme diversity. Smart watches, smart bands, fitness trackers, etc. Some of them were created with athletes like runners, swimmers, and fashionistas in mind. Smart watches are becoming into luxury goods, but fitness bands promote themselves on their use and price – they often use inexpensive, but durable materials. It should not be surprising that fashion manufacturers with no experience in technology are suddenly rushing to develop "connected watches" with elaborate and fashionable designs as watches have long been used as status symbols. This study aims to find out the real reasons behind the use of smart watch among the residents of Kolkata.
