These lapses can lead to incomplete records, which, the study authors write, “can ultimately lead people to abandon. Then it gets shoved around during cleaning or whatever until they leave and say, ‘darn, I forgot my Fitbit tracker at home’.”įorgetting to wear your tracker every once in awhile may not seem like a big deal, but University of Washington researchers found that it’s actually one of the top causes of activity-tracking lapses. “So it will either sit dead or sit on the charger for days on end. “ I noticed they’ll forget about their device when charging it or if it dies before they have a chance to charge it,” he says.
