The $70 Water Bottle

With Bonus Straw Lid!

The HidrateSpark app is available on iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and Android devices. Within the app, you can track the location of your water bottle. You can also challenge friends, view your water intake, and set goals for yourself.

You can still use the app if you don’t have the HidrateSpark water bottle connected. The water intake, hydration tracker, goals, and more features are still available, as long as you manually update. The app also allows users to connect their information to Apple Health and others like Fitbit, Garmin, Under Armour, and Health Mate. You can also customize settings within the app to have it remind you to drink – whether that’s on your Apple Watch or iPhone or iPad.

Possibly my favorite thing to do within the app is to change the color of the glow of the sensor puck at the bottom of the bottle. The bottle glow is designed to remind you to drink water so you can make your goals. You have the option to adjust or to turn the glow off completely from within the app. The app gives you six glow colors for free; if you want to customize colors, you have to pay for “GlowStudio” for $4.99. It’s not something I’d recommend paying for, but there’s always a market of people who will pay extra to customize.

Are you fucking serious?

We are doomed.

At $70, tacking is required as I better not lose it!

You mock, but we are bunging up against a time when loss of our water bottle (which we were so improvident as to not acquire the location app) will result in our dying of thirst.

Ain't that a kick? After skyscrapers, computers, bullet trains and the successful resurrection of the Twinkie, this is how the world will end for us -- not with a bang but with being too chintzy to shell out a lousy $70 to safeguard ourselves from fatally dehydrating.

I didn't realize this was an Apple product. I figured it was a start-up or kickstarter campaign.

[George K]

@89th it's not.

It's a 3rd party thing that you can buy via the Apple Store.

You can buy other 3rd party stuff there too.

You can get your $160 water bottle here. They have some $90 titanium coffee (covfefe?) cups for sale at REI if you're interested.

If it doesn't connect to my phone and let me know how much water I've consumed, well, then, I'm not interested.

Now that the SkyMall is no more, these pointless and pointlessly expensive products gotta get listed somewhere. Might as well be on the Apple Store.

“You can also challenge friends…”

What kind person challenges their friends to a water drinking contest?

Maybe someone you don't like very much

Milk > water.

No beer company needs a tricked out bottle to let one challenges friends to drinking beer.
