Watsons, as it is best known, is China's largest retail chain of beauty and health products, and in fact, it is also a long-established beverage producer, including carbonated drinks, distilled water, fruit juices and more, among which the production of drinking distilled water is the largest in the world. Watson's carbonated beverage mainly promotes low-sugar soda and sand soda, and ranks among the top in the list of recommended carbonated drinks in Rankbao.
 
After the national standard standardizes the naming of bottled water, Watsons distilled water was renamed as drinking water (distillation method). Due to the high brand tonality and pricing, Watsons drinking water has always been synonymous with high-end pure water. However, the distillation method has been gradually phased out after the maturity of the reverse osmosis method, in addition to high energy consumption, because cyanide, volatile phenols and other substances have a lower boiling point than water, and the concentration after evaporation increases the risk of exceeding the standard. The national standard stipulates that only for pure water prepared by distillation, two indicators of cyanide and volatile phenols are added.
 
Watsons drinking water is filtered in multiple layers prior to high temperature distillation at 105°C, which has offset the risk of concentration of the two volatiles. Even if this factor is not taken into account, the distillation method is not more efficient than the reverse osmosis method, and the high energy consumption is not environmentally friendly, and Watson's drinking water cannot be evaluated too highly. At present, Watsons drinking water is the only pure water priced in the 3 yuan area, and the high price is purely due to high energy consumption, low cost performance, and it is not recommended for environmentalists to buy.
 
The biggest advantage of Watsons is that the capacity can be selected from the widest, especially disposable bottled water, most of the other brands are only 4.5L, but Watsons has three specifications: 4.5L, 6L and 8L, which can be purchased according to the number of family members to ensure that it is consumed within 1 day. The price is still the biggest disadvantage, even if it is online wholesale, the corresponding unit price is as high as 14 yuan, 17 yuan, and 22 yuan. The bottled water business is consistent with the layout of the factory, which only supplies Hong Kong and Macao, four first-tier cities and their surroundings, and is sold at 32 yuan per barrel at 18.9L/barrel.
