Fitbit, the leading global wearables brand, today announced it is launching in Vietnam, with the availability of its line of top-selling smartwatches and activity and sleep-tracking products. Fitbit’s vision is to make the world healthier with a platform that empowers people with information, a fun and engaging experience, and insights and guidance for users to get the most out of their devices and help them reach their health and fitness goals. To date the company has sold more than 78 million devices globally with more than 25 million active device users and has one of the world’s largest health and fitness databases and social networks.

Helping people in Vietnam be healthier, more active

People in Vietnam are increasingly focused on health and fitness and are turning to technology to help them reach their goals as a result of multiple factors, including changing consumer lifestyles and demographics. According to the World Health Organization, stroke, heart disease and diabetes are the top health issues facing Vietnam. While increased physical activity helps to reduce the risk of these chronic diseases, WHO found that Cardiovascular diseases and diabetes together are one of the major causes of unnatural deaths in Vietnam.

“With a growing focus on personal health, fitness and overall wellbeing across the country, and the strong demand for mobile devices and technology in the market, Fitbit is thrilled to provide consumers in Vietnam with our range of health and fitness devices at affordable prices across all major mobile platforms, helping everyone find the right fit for their lifestyle and goals,” said Steve Morley, Vice President and General Manager, Asia Pacific, Fitbit. “The wearables category has the potential to help people achieve better health outcomes, which is our singular focus at Fitbit. Underscoring all of this is our ongoing commitment to deliver the most engaging experience possible to support our users on their health and fitness journeys.”
