WATSONS LAUNCHES VIRTUAL PLAYLAND IN ASIA

Watsons, an O+O (Offline plus Online) health and beauty retailer in Asia steps
into the metaverse as it launches a virtual playland. Watsons “VR Get Active
Park” landed in Taiwan, Thailand and Malaysia in January to help customers stay
active and healthy while at home, and it is expected to roll out in Hong Kong in
February.

Watsons VR Get Active Park brings together customers in a virtual playland that
is made up of different sections including a game zone, exercise arena, virtual
Watsons store and rewards station, offering customers a virtual immersive
experience to live an active lifestyle. Health tools such as BMI measurer,
Calories Burn and Activity Calculators are also available to help customers
monitor their health.

Inside the Watsons VR Get Active Park, customers can take a stroll through the
park and play fitness games, or exercise with virtual trainers. They can also
learn health tips, earn eStamps as well as redeem rewards. This is a new way for
customers to stay engaged, healthy and active right at home.

As the Watsons VR Get Active Park launches across the region, each market has a
localised twist added to its mix.

Watsons Hong Kong will invite Olympic athletes Arenas Chan and Karen Tam to
demonstrate some stretching videos to engage participants. The videos will be
launched in the Watsons VR Get Active Park and Watsons social media in order to
drive awareness.

Watsons Thailand’s customers are invited to become sweat challengers and to take
on Watsons trainers to complete training tasks. After finishing the workout,
customers can share their accomplishments on social media and redeem eStamps.

Aside from getting active, Watsons VR Get Active Park is also a way for
customers to explore new health products. Watsons Asia’s health category in
eCommerce sales grew by over 60 percent year-on-year during the pandemic,
meaning that customers are looking for health products to keep themselves
healthy. The park helps customers to find health products which best suit their
needs.

In Watsons Taiwan, pharmacists share tips on staying healthy and provide health
products recommendations so that customers can easily choose the right health
products. Meanwhile, Watsons Malaysia’s customers got to learn all about healthy
cooking from Malaysia’s Masterchef Abang Brian inside the Watsons VR Get Active
Park. The Masterchef gave cooking lessons on how to use the finest and
healthiest ingredients to transform some of Malaysia’s traditional cuisines into
healthy alternatives.

“It’s our passion to keep our customers healthy. The Watsons VR Get Active Park
leverages on the technology to create a playground to have fun while working
out. In fact, doing exercise doesn’t require a lot of gear or a big space. With
the touch of a phone or tablet, customers can get active, anytime, anywhere,”
said Malina Ngai, CEO of A.S. Watson (Asia & Europe).

“Getting active not only helps our customers stay physically fit, it also has a
positive effect on their mental wellbeing. Our millions of members in Asia told
us that they are more likely to do exercise with friends, so Watsons VR Get
Active Park is a perfect initiative to motivate each other to become healthier
inside and out by participating in our fun activities online together,”
concluded Ngai.
