The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Sedentary Behavior Research Network (SBRN) – Terminology Consensus Project process and outcome (2017, background): “At this time, smaller working groups are being formed to propose solutions to different issues (ethics and privacy; harmonizing calibration protocols and data elements; hardware, software and data management logistics; and evaluating evidence and comparison of analytic approaches) and efficient mode”
Step Counting: A Review of Measurement Considerations and Health-Related Applications (2016, background): “The wrist placement site and a waterproof case increased wear times, and had the added benefit of providing a valid assessment of sleep duration and quality [30].”
Large Scale Population Assessment of Physical Activity Using Wrist Worn Accelerometers: The UK Biobank Study (2017, background): “These studies all used accelerometers which were worn around the waist and during awake-time only, a protocol which can result in relatively large amounts of missing data [9].”
