I've always *wanted* smart bottles to work or be effective and I feel like Gatorade's approach is a step in the right direction. Really tempted to order one and try out their workout to see if notice any results.

I have a hidrate spark 3 and I love it. It's a great water bottle alone, very rugged, nice to hold etc. But being able to go into an app and see how much water I have drunk today is very helpful, I often feel like crap and when i do, I check the app and can see my water consumption is low. Whenever i'm near my goals with water, i always feel much better. Just popping into the app a few times a day is enough for me to keep where I am at, else I just lose track.

I know products like smart water bottles can sometimes come off a bit gimmicky but I'd wager a bet that most people don't hydrate enough for a multitude of reasons and I think simply not knowing how much is a big factor. This could solve that, I hope it works with water instead of just the gatorade packs though
