a mount to couple a monitoring device to a wearable device to be worn by the user, the wearable device to receive content from a content device;
a sensor to detect motion of the user;
a transmitter to transmit motion data pertaining to the detected motion of the user;
machine readable instructions; and
programmable circuitry to execute the instructions to:
determine the presence of the user based on the motion data,
identify the content received at the wearable device from the content device, and
associate the user to the identified content based on the determined presence to generate metering data.
