  • Stylish vívomove Sport hybrid smartwatch by Garmin is a timeless blend of fashion and function. Pre-order starts now.

    Garmin Philippines today announced that the new vívomove® Sport, a hybrid smartwatch with real ticking watch hands that move to reveal a hidden touchscreen display, is now available for pre-order. 

    Designed for those who seek a fashionable way to stay connected while tracking their health and fitness, the vívomove Sport features a full suite of health and wellness tools, including Body BatteryTM energy monitoring, all-day stress tracking, advanced sleep monitoring, built-in sports apps with connected GPS and more. New unique colorways make vívomove Sport the ultimate wellness accessory. Check out the video here. 

    “Garmin Philippines continues to expand its vívomove series, a unique product line within the Garmin wearable family, with the arrival of the entry-level vívomove Sport, making it more accessible to Filipinos in the country,” said Garmin Asia Director Scoppen Lin. “A smartwatch is only useful if you wear it, and we know that many people still want the look of a traditional timepiece with real hands. With vívomove Sport, you can have the best of both worlds at a friendly price point.” 

    Style with a twist

    The vívomove Sport has the appearance of a traditional watch with the essentials of a smartwatch. It is designed with real ticking watch hands and a hidden display that only appears when needed. Interact with the touchscreen, and the hands dynamically move away.

    Inspired by the luxe comfort trend, the vívomove Sport features a silicone band and color-coordinated watch dial in warm colorways and a soft green reminiscent of sophisticated wellness aesthetics. Refined metallic accents add dimension and lend a sleek, contemporary feel.

  • A Music Artist’s Meltdown Leads to True Love in ‘Marry Me’ starring J Lo and Owen Wilson

    Jennifer Lopez and Owen Wilson star in Marry Me, a fresh and relevant romance for this modern age – 21st century Roman Holiday meets Notting Hill. 

    In Marry Me, we meet Kat Valdez (Lopez), half of the sexiest celebrity power couple on Earth with hot new music supernova Bastian (Maluma, in his feature-film debut). As Kat and Bastian’s inescapable hit single, “Marry Me,” climbs the charts, they are about to be wed before an audience of their fans in a ceremony that will be streamed across multiple platforms.

    Owen Wilson Jennifer Lopez in MARRY ME 2

    Then there’s divorced high-school math teacher Charlie Gilbert (Wilson) who has been dragged to the concert by his daughter Lou (Chloe Coleman, HBO’s Big Little Lies) and his best friend Parker (Sarah Silverman, Hulu’s I Love You, America). When Kat learns, seconds before the ceremony, that Bastian has cheated on her, her life turns left as she has a meltdown on stage, questioning love, truth and loyalty.

    Jennifer Lopez in MARRY ME 1

    Marry Me proposes that if what you know lets you down, then perhaps what you don’t know is the answer, and so, in a moment of inspired insanity, Kat chooses to marry Charlie. What begins as an impulsive reaction evolves into an unexpected romance. But as forces conspire to separate them, the universal question arises: Can two people from such different worlds bridge the gulf between them and build a place where they both belong?

    MARRY ME Sarah Silverman Chloe Coleman and Owen Wilson 1

    As fantastical as the premise for the film may seem at first, film director Kat Coiro (who also currently serves as executive producer and director for the majority of the series in Marvel’s She Hulk for Disney+) shares that many of the greatest true love stories often started in improbable, or impossible, ways. “When it comes to love, nothing is truly impossible. When you start asking people how they met their partner, you’ll hear these stories that seem like everything had to line up for that relationship to happen,” Coiro says. “Beneath all the wildness of this story, these are just two people meeting and falling in love, which happens every day.”

    MARRY ME Jennifer Lopez Owen Wilson

    That perspective on the film was exactly what Lopez and her fellow filmmakers were looking for. “Kat had a real vision for what this movie could be,” Lopez says. “She was also fantastic to work with throughout the development of the film. People are going to love her work in this.”

    Lopez, as both the film’s leading lady as well as a producer, brought every aspect of her experience at the height of the entertainment industry to bear on making the film into a true romantic event for audiences.

    Jennifer Lopez immediately connected with Kat and the film’s themes on multiple levels. “I understand this life,” Lopez says. “The film is literally going behind the veil of what it’s like to be a celebrity.”

    Save-the-date! A Universal Pictures International release, Marry Me will open in Philippine cinemas starting February 9.

  • Merrell Doesn’t Care If You Stare At Their New Hydro Mocs

    Merrell, a brand best known for its outdoor collection of hiking boots and trail runners, continues to pique the interest of loyalists, streetwear enthusiasts, and sneakerheads alike by releasing three new colorways of their unique-looking water shoe, including a women’s style this time. Undoubtedly eye-catching and surprisingly functional, the Hydro moc has garnered significant buzz and more than a few rave reviews upon its introduction to the country last November of its Black and Navy styles.

    The “ugly” shoe now comes in new Spring-ready shades like Butternut and Black/Brindle for men and Burgundy for women. Made with a single piece of rubberized EVA foam, the Hydro Moc is an all-rounder that is just as suited for the beach and the camping trail as it is on city streets and even casual bike rides as it combines a sleek, ironic fashion with technical function.

The shoe has since garnered scores of fans from Latin America, East Asia, Australia, and now the Philippines. Appealing both to streetwear aficionados and island lifers the world over, the Hydro Moc has often been worn with brightly colored socks or on their own for outdoor activities at the beach, camping, and biking.

    Model Brent Javier wears the Men’s Hydro Moc in Black.

    La Union-based actor/model John James Uy wears the Men’s Hydro Moc in Black.

    You can now shop the latest Hydro Moc and Hydro Slide colorways in Merrell concept stores nationwide, major department stores and online at their  official webstore www.merrell.com.ph.

    Go behind-the-stunts of Columbia Pictures’ Uncharted on the hardest action sequence Tom Holland’s ever made. Watch the Stunts Vignette below and experience the movie exclusively in Philippine cinemas on February 23.

    Street-smart thief Nathan Drake (Tom Holland) is recruited by seasoned treasure hunter Victor “Sully” Sullivan (Mark Wahlberg) to recover a fortune lost by Ferdinand Magellan 500 years ago. What starts as a heist job for the duo becomes a globe-trotting, white-knuckle race to reach the prize before the ruthless Moncada (Antonio Banderas), who believes he and his family are the rightful heirs. If Nate and Sully can decipher the clues and solve one of the world’s oldest mysteries, they stand to find $5 billion in treasure and perhaps even Nate’s long-lost brother…but only if they can learn to work together.
