ABSTRACTAlthough the recognition of the pervasive nature of technologies has prompted research, few studies have addressed the specific characteristics that enhance the confirmation, satisfaction, and continued use of the smartwatch. The objective of this research is to seek a deeper understanding of how smartwatch-specific characteristics affect user perceptions and continued usage. Hence, the authors examined the effects of its close proximity, the haptics feedback, and the nature of convenience it avails the user. The authors developed a research model based on the integration of the information systems (IS) continuance model (behavioral beliefs) and the IS success model (object-based beliefs), and conducted a survey of current smartwatch owners. The authors found that haptics feedback, proximity, and convenience characteristics affect the confirmation of expectations of the smartwatch, and indirectly affect satisfaction. In turn, higher levels of satisfaction result in continued feature use of the smartwatch. Additional analyses revealed that there is a difference between the communications and fitness feature uses of the smartwatch. That is, there are two distinct uses of the smartwatch. The authors offer theoretical and practical contributions.
