Well, the findings there align with my own experience. Wearable activity trackers completely transformed my relationship with fitness!

Same here, but I think it also depends on the fitness tracker experience.

I had a Fitbit Sense and everything was paywalled. It was not motivating at all.

Then I got a Garmin bike computer, followed by a Garmin fitness watch, and they've been a game changer for me. I want to be more active now.
