  Health trackers are widely adopted to support users with daily health and
wellness tracking. They can help increase steps taken, enhance sleeping
pattern, improve healthy diet, and promote overall health. Despite the growth
in the adoption of such technology, their reallife use is still questionable.
While some users derive longterm value from their trackers, others face
barriers to integrate it into their daily routine. Studies have analysed
technical aspects of these barriers. In this study, we analyse the behavioural
factors of discouragement and wearable abandonment strictly tied to user habits
and living circumstances. A data analysis was conducted in two different
studies, one with users posts about wearable sales and the other one was a
survey analysis. The two studies were used to analyse the stages of wearable
adoption, use and abandonment. Therefore, we mainly focused on users motives to
get a wearable tracker and to post it for sale. We extracted insights about
user motives, highlighted technology condition and limitations, and timeframe
before abandonment. The findings revealed certain user behavioural pattern
throughout the wearable use and abandonment.
