The purpose of the pilot study was to determine the effectiveness of wearable activity trackers alone or in combination with behaviour change strategies for promoting physical activity (PA) among individuals with pre-hypertension or hypertension. A sample of 44 adults (68% female and mean age 55) were randomized to receive either a Fitbit Charge HR 3 alone (FB) or the Fitbit in combination with behaviour change strategies (i.e., goal setting, behaviour goal review, adaptive feedback) delivered by a trained health coach (FB+) for 12 weeks. Moderate and vigorous PA (MVPA), steps, and sedentary time (ST) were assessed using ActiGraph wGT3X-BT. The FB+ group significantly increased PA [+1854 (2518) steps/day, p &lt; .01] and MVPA [+26 (34) mins/day, p &lt; .05], and decreased their ST [−63 (73) mins/day, p &lt; .01]. The FB group significantly increased  MVPA [+11 (16) mins/day, p &lt; .05], and decreased their ST [−87 (117) mins/day, p &lt; .01]. Participants in FB+ had a significantly greater increase in MVPA/day compared to FB only with a between-group effect size of 0.6 (p &lt; .05). Using Fitbit for self-monitoring is effective in increasing PA and reducing ST among pre-hypertensive and hypertensive participants. Additional behaviour change support amplified the intervention effectiveness for promoting MVPA.
