Works as intended. The application is a bit annoying as you could only use a few features like, lighting, snooze time for drinking reminders, adding a name to the bottle, and location (have not tried yet) without paying for a service. Easy to clean. A bit annoying to drink as my nose touches the cap of the bottle when I drink. I mean, the lights look cool though and it holds a decent amount of water without being too heavy. Too bad it didn’t come with a strap for that price. I still like it though. Also, the bottom part of the bottle feels loose even after adjusting well.

Bought this as a gift for someone who doesn't drink as much water as they should... Turns out it was a great idea! The bottle gamifies drinking water and really encourages you to drink the amount you should be.

I thought it was just an extra cup for me, but it turns out I could actually enjoy using a cup and the data record that shows on my health app really sometimes helps me understand how I am drinking. Do I drink enough or not in the shining colorful a wave colors is really good looking whenever I know after I refill or drink some water.

I was so excited for this bottle. I needed to start drinking more water and this seemed like the perfect solution! I love that it tracks my water intake and reminds me when I need to have more. Its easy to clean (not dishwasher safe but hand wash). It’s a decent product but there are definitely some draw backs. If you move around with your bottle or drive with it in the car you’ll notice extra readings. So you have to go through your history and delete out those out. The first charge lasted a full 10 days and now it lasts about 5-6 days. There’s no warning the battery is getting low. It’s just on or not. Even with the minor draw backs I’m definitely enjoying the product and can’t wait to see improvements in future generations

Thank you for sharing your experience. The battery life in HidrateSpark PRO should be around 10-14 days depending on the glow settings.
If the battery dies faster, please put the sensor puck on a charger and confirm that the "battery charging glow" is working properly. To charge your sensor puck, turn the bottle/tumbler upside down and remove the sensor puck. Place the puck on a flat surface and attach the magnetic end of the HidrateSpark charging cable to the puck. While charging every other LED on your puck will illuminate and fade in / out (every 10 sec.) green. Once fully charged every other LED on your puck will remain SOLID GREEN.
While charging, please check the USB charging port is rated for 5V and at least 500mA in order for the sensor puck to charge properly. If there's a possibility, you can try charging the sensor puck from a different USB port.
Also, you can try leaving the sensor puck on the charger overnight (or just quite a bit longer than a couple hours) to see if it starts working properly after that.
If the sensor puck is charged fully after a few hours, please keep an eye on the battery level for a little while and if you're still having trouble, feel free to contact our support team at [email protected] with the details of the issue. - Hidrate Team

HidrateSpark Smart Bottle

I am obsessed with this bottle. This bottle tracks my water intake automatically. You can manually add any liquid amount you have consumed. You can also purchase a drink list, just highlight the drink and add the intake amount. The app is amazing and the glow light reminds you when to drink (glow lights can be purchased). The stainless steel bottle in my opinion is better than the plastic bottle. The plastic bottle sweats if ice is put into it and later there is a condensation mess. However, it is a bit expensive but worth it.

I never thought I would need a smart water bottle, but ever since I got one, it has been lifechanging! Not only does it remind me to drink water regularly with its color changing lights, but it also tracks my hydration level and syncs with an innovative app that lets me add friends and family to keep myself accountable and motivated. The app also gives me personalized goals and tips based on my activity level and health data. I love how the smart water bottle helps me stay healthy and hydrated throughout the day, and how it looks so sleek and stylish with its stainless steel design. It's definitely worth investing in a smart water bottle if you want to improve your wellness and enjoy drinking water more!

Works as advertised. The only downside is the app seems to be limited for the types of drinks you can select from and you can't add your own

I got the 21oz pro back in April. My puck didn't always record my water intake accurately, but I didn't mind, as it forced me to drink more water. I didn't notice that the battery was out of charge, and when I went to charge it, I got the flashing red lights of an issue. Imagine my surprise that they only warranty the product for 100 days. Even though a new puck is half the original $80 purchase price, I will not be spending $40 on something that doesn't last less than a year.
