FitBit Fitness Tracker Data

This dataset was developed as 34 Fitbit users agreed to contribute their data gathered from their personal wearable device including minute-level output for physical activity, heart rate, and sleep monitoring. The study period was between March 12, 2016 through May 12, 2026.

The large majority of time a typical user would be sedentary during their daily activity, with active time ranging from minutes to hours depending on the intensity. This data suggests users routinely user their wearable device during the entirety of the day and not only during intentional exercise.

Most users wore their device most days with the occasional day off. Rarely, users either never wore their device, or wore it every day.

Based on typical activity times, many users are more physically activity on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays.
