Understanding the Predictability of Smartwatch Usage

We explore the predictability of smartwatch usage using a 9-month dataset collected from 27 users through a crowd-sourced user trial. Specifically, we investigate the predictability of (1) the device energy consumption, (2) the application launch time, and (3) the screen display. Overall, we find that all three aspects exhibit reasonably good predictability. Our findings provide key knowledge and insights for developing efficient and intelligent energy management services for future smartwatch systems.
