Smart water bottles do more than just provide an easy way to stay hydrated; they make the process more efficient and enjoyable. The end goal of drinking eight glasses of water or more a day is to harness some of those well-documented health benefits, from flushing out toxins to preventing headaches.
Some options like the DrinKup bottle employ a smart lid to track your water consumption. It also syncs up to a companion app so you can see exactly when and how much you drink. The bottle will vibrate, and a heart emoticon will appear on its LED screen to remind you to drink. The app can also send you a notification as well so you never miss a drink.
Travelers can also choose bottles that optimize multiple features. The Hydra Techbottle features a lantern, mini Bluetooth speaker and syncs to your phone so you can listen to your favorite music while falling asleep. You can even take hands-free calls while camping, all while staying hydrated.
What if you want the health benefits of drinking water but just don’t like the taste? The Right Cup leverages the science that 80 percent of our taste derives from smell. The bottles feature BAP-free plastic with scented flavors ranging from mixed berry to cola to make you think you’re drinking juice or your favorite beverage. Ultimately, your taste buds won’t know you’re just sipping on plain water.
Smart water bottles are attractive and fun, but there’s really no evidence you need one to improve your health. A conventional water bottle will also suffice for hydration. But smart water bottles can help monitor your hydration habits and help set and reach your goals. If you’re looking to improve your overall health and enjoy fitness and health trackers, a smart water bottle is an easy choice. And smart water bottles that make travel simpler always get bonus points.
