In recent years, wearable sensors and mHealth applications are becoming an important part for recording and monitoring health parameters. The aim is to characterize bibli-ometric indicators on scientific productivity in the use of smart bracelets according to scientific journal, study topic and publication trend. A bibliometric study was per-formed. The data extracted from the articles were: year of publication, name of the journal, language of publication, country, type of study and subject matter. A total of 45 studies were identified (21 cross-sectional and 24 experimental), of which 43 were published in English, one in Spanish and one in German. A total of 32 scientific journals published eight research topics related to smartwatch use [active living with 17 studies (37.8%), followed by stress and anxiety with 7 studies (15.6%), nanogenerators (batteries) with 6 studies (13.3%), computing with 5 studies (11.1%), chronic diseases 4 studies (8.9%), COVID propagation 3 studies (6.7%), energy expenditure 2 studies (4.4%) and occupational health 1 study (2.2%)]. The journal Sensors (Basel) published the most articles in the last 6 years (n=7, 16%). The scientific productivity of both study types reflects a positive trend (cross-sectional studies R2= 0.82 and in experimental studies R2= 0.76). A total of 45 cross-sectional and experimental studies using smart-watches were verified in eight different study topics. The most investigated category was active living and the journal that published the highest number of articles was the journal Sensors (Basel).
