mWell has taken school spirit to new heights with the launch of its UAAP Special Edition Watches.
Designed with affordability and functionality in mind, these wearables allow students and fans to don their school colors while actively managing their health.
During a special signing ceremony held at the Metro Pacific Investments Corporation (MPIC) boardroom, mWell unveiled the unique line of wearables tailored for the 87th season of the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP). Each watch features the official logo and color-matching straps of the eight UAAP member schools, embodying the essence of university pride.
Manuel V. Pangilinan, mWell Chairman and MPIC Chairman and CEO, expressed his excitement about the collaboration.
“This partnership between the UAAP and mWell manifested from our mutual drive to support the well-being of young people. These special edition wearables—linked to the mWell platform—will equip students, athletes, and the entire UAAP community with the tools to actively manage their health and reach peak performance,” he said.
Wellness Meets School Spirit
The Power and Prestige Sport watches are loaded with advanced features, including blood pressure and heart rate monitors, making them ideal companions for students, athletes, and fitness enthusiasts. With 100 sports modes and seamless integration with the mWell app, the watches provide real-time health insights and track the user’s mWellness Score, which evaluates daily exercise, light activity, sedentary time, and step count.
Monitoring this score daily can reduce the risk of chronic diseases and help users achieve their fitness goals, making these watches a practical yet stylish tool for promoting a healthy lifestyle.
Chaye Cabal-Revilla, mWell CEO and President and MPIC Chief Finance, Risk, and Sustainability Officer, emphasized the platform’s commitment to health: “mWell is an ally in every part of the wellness journey. Recognizing that health is our biggest personal investment, our wearables are designed to deliver crucial insights to encourage a healthy and active lifestyle. Our affordable line of watches paired with the mWell app will enable everyone, including our students and alumni community, to become more productive, better manage their overall health, and ultimately live happier and longer lives.”
UAAP’s Commitment to Holistic Wellness
UAAP Executive Director Atty. Rebo Saguisag highlighted the partnership’s alignment with this year’s theme: Stronger, Better, Together.
“The UAAP is one with mWell in promoting wellness and leading healthier lives to become a more formidable community committed to greatness,” he shared.
The UAAP Special Edition Watches represent all eight UAAP schools.
With up to seven days of battery life and water resistance, the watches ensure durability for the active lifestyles of students and athletes. The watches are available exclusively through the mWell app eShop or via shop.mwell.com.ph, with free delivery, an extra strap, and a gift bag included with every purchase.
Upcoming Events and University Wellness Tour
Fans can sport their school watches at two major UAAP events:
- The highly anticipated UAAP Cheerdance Competition on December 1, 2024.
- The opening of the Women’s Volleyball Tournament in February 2025.
As part of their shared commitment to student wellness, mWell and UAAP will also launch a Wellness University Tour. The tour aims to emphasize the importance of physical and mental health, fostering a more mindful and proactive UAAP community.
With its innovative approach to blending health and school spirit, mWell continues to redefine wellness for the Filipino youth. Whether in the classroom, on the court, or in the stands, these UAAP Special Edition Watches ensure that health and pride are always on display.
