The risks and benefits of Internet of Things (IoT) and their influence on smartwatch use

Purpose This study aims to determine how Internet of Things (IoT) risks and benefits affect both the intention use actual a smartwatch. Methodology The stimulus–organism–behavior–consequence (SOBC) hypothesis is used explain mechanisms underpinning discontinuity between technology usage. A total 394 questionnaires distributed smartwatch users were analyzed, using convergent analysis, discriminant analysis structural modeling. Findings IoT’s technical features, such as continuous connectivity real-time value, serve effective stimuli for smartwatches, positively influencing individuals’ responses behavioral consequences associated with While IoT data, performance financial have no negative relationship usefulness data influence on their ease use. Additionally, positive impact use, users’ behavior influenced by intentions Value applies acceptance theory SOBC paradigm smartwatches if them behavior. Furthermore, research analyzed elements in terms advantages risks.
