Being properly hydrated is a goal we all seek, even if we rarely achieve it. Experts have shown that drinking eight glasses of water a day eliminates toxins, prevents headaches, increases energy levels and improves cardiovascular health by keeping skin clean, lubricating joints, strengthening muscles and losing weight. Not a little, right? Smart bottles are available in almost every size and shape, specifically designed to improve hydration habits, all with the help of the latest technology. These are - in our opinion - the best smart water bottles you can get today.

DrinKup Smart Water Bottle

The DrinKup water bottle uses a high-tech smart cap to monitor your daily water consumption. It records your drinking time and drinking volume in an additional app that’s easy to use, but the cover has a screen that shows your current stats. In addition to controlling when and how much you are drinking, the bottle shows a constant hydration status as a percentage, which can be seen on the cap and on application. This percentage shows your current hydration level based on your daily goal, and is calculated based on your height and weight. When the number drops below 80 percent, the lid vibrates and the heartbeat icon shows a drinking note. DrinKup also sends an alert to your phone as well.

Hidrate Spark 2.0

The Hydrate Spark 2.0 bottle works in a very simple way: it shines every time you need to drink water. The system calculates your hydration needs in a complementary application and based on your height and physiology. Then it will light up at different times of the day to remind you that it’s time to take a sip. The Bluetooth-enabled microprocessor sensor monitors how much you consume under the cover, and the app gives you statistics. The device has two button-type batteries; so you won’t have to charge every day.

Hydra Techbottle

Made with many smart features, this high-tech gadget is packed with a water bottle, power source, flashlight and a mini Bluetooth speaker. The water bottle contains 20 ounces of liquid and is synchronized with the phone to give soothing sounds like ocean surfing or summer rain when you are asleep. On the cover is a 5-watt rechargeable Bluetooth speaker that syncs with your phone to play music while you exercise or move around town.

Bellabeat Spring

This bottle is made by the same company as the Bellabeat Leaf fitness tracker, this bottle has a unique set of body measurements that is used to determine daily water consumption. In addition to basic information such as your age, height, and weight, it also takes into account your activity level, local climate, and whether you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Although designed for women, this 16-ounce bottle of water is perfect for men as well.
