mWell and UAAP Kick Off Season 88 with Health-Focused Smartwatches

UAAP Season 88 officially kicked off with a grand opening ceremony attended by a crowd of over 36,000 people last September 19 at the University of Santo Tomas Grandstand and Open Field. As the excitement moves beyond the festivities and onto the court, mWell—a Philippine-made health app—launches their new line of Special Edition UAAP Smartwatches. It tells the time, gives you comprehensive health stats, and, of course, sports your school colors.

"Sports is a metaphor for life—where young Filipinos learn discipline, resilience, and the value of community," stated Manuel V. Pangilinan, mWell Chairman and Metro Pacific Investments Corporation Chairman, President and CEO. He added, "These Special Edition smartwatches serve as daily reminders of that spirit, helping the UAAP community live healthier, more connected lives."

The collaboration underscores a shared commitment to holistic well-being. Rene "Rebo" Saguisag, UAAP Executive Director, highlighted the synergy, saying, "Season 88 celebrates the drive to move forward and make a difference, reflecting our theme ‘Strength in Motion, Hope in Action.’ Through our partnership with mWell, UAAP student-athletes, and the community are encouraged to embrace wellness in mind, body, and spirit."

The collection features eight university-inspired designs, with straps carrying team colors.

The UAAP Smartwatch collection features eight university-inspired designs, available across three models to cater to varying needs and lifestyles:

• mWell Prestige Sport Watch (P3,499): Designed for peak performance, this model is equipped with GPS, altimeter, barometer, and an AMOLED display, making it the ultimate training partner for serious athletes.
• mWell Prestige Watch (P2,999): Offering a blend of elegance and functionality, this watch combines premium style with extensive health-tracking capabilities for everyday use.
• mWell Power Watch (P2,499): This model provides essential wellness support, delivering the core features needed to stay active and motivated daily.

The UAAP Smart Watch is available in three models: Prestige Sport, Prestige, and Power.

These smartwatches are fully loaded with advanced health features, as users can monitor blood pressure, heart rate, and blood oxygen directly from their wrist, with all data seamlessly viewable on the mWell app. The watches also offer over 100 exercise modes, step tracking, and integration with the mWellness Score. This allows users to effortlessly track exercise, steps, sedentary time, and sleep. They also feature a seven-day battery life (subject to usage), water resistance, and a durable build.

UAAP student-athletes receive the new Special Edition UAAP Smartwatches.

Gary Dujali, mWell Chief Marketing Officer, emphasized the app's mission: "Wellness must be within everyone’s reach, and these UAAP smart watches bring that vision to life. They are stylish symbols of school pride while also serving as daily reminders to prioritize one’s health. By making wellness simple and accessible, especially for the younger generation, we are helping Filipinos build habits that can last a lifetime."

The Special Edition UAAP Smartwatches are available through the mWell app e-shop. Prices (P2,499 to P3,499) include an extra strap and free shipping. You can also get a free UAAP shirt when you buy from the mWell booths located at the SM Mall of Asia Arena and Smart Araneta Coliseum during the UAAP Season 88 games.
