This guy gets it. It ain’t for everyone, but some people have a genuine use for it.
I like seeing more stuff getting Apple Health integration.
I returned mine. The bottle is top-heavy so it's not very stable. That resulted a few times in a fall on the ground and breaking a plastic part.
I can just imagine the meeting when they came up with this... thing for putting water in... all horribly stoned, trying to outdo each other for the most useless, irrelevant and pointless 'features' they could, laughing themselves silly, and then trying to decide how much they dare charge for it - and then doubling it, followed by another hour of rolling on the floor, wetting themselves!
Oh, you may mock, but I've been in meetings like that.

Just to be clear, it does keep a beverage cold for 24 hours. Obviously there are a lot of other cheaper options that do that, but it is indeed one of the features.
As stupid as this is, be thankful Apple don't actually make it. If they did, you'd have to pay extra for the opening to drink the water out of and even more for a lid. Don't even get me started on how much wheels cost.
What many here fail to realize is that while many people drink fluids throughout the day, a lot of them may not be drinking enough fluids to keep the body properly hydrated.
Although the price of the bottles is high, the principle behind it is a worthy one, in my opinion.

Good move.
Sodas (like Coke) are really bad for you, especially your kidneys. Many people wrongly surmise that drinking soda throughout the day is a good hydrating practice when it really isn't.

I use the app WaterMinder and whatever regular drinking cup I may be using at the moment to record the amount.
You’re 100% correct. Most people are dehydrated and don’t know it, which causes a lot more problems than they realize. Living in an arid climate you realize how much you require and it’s a lot more than you think.
I guessing the same peopel who pay $19 for a small microfiber rag (polish cloth) will be all over an $80 water bottle.
I hope everyone that is bashing this product is in great physical health. Not many well hydrated people aren't in great shape. Drinkinking more more had to be part of my regimen if I wanted to lose weight. I was 210 lbs. I got this product in black last year. Sure it was just another gadget but it always reminded me to drunk more water. Then it became habit. I am also today 148 lbs Obviously this bottle had little to do with it but every bit counts.
I’m with you brother (or is it sister?). I track my water with WaterMinder using my watch. I went from an avg of 0 oz a day to 60-80 per day. I use a 40 oz hydroflask and a glass.
This is one of those articles that you could convince me was from The Onion
I’m looking at one of these.
Primarily for playing sports. I referee a sport at an elite level, and also play a few others at a lower level.
Im interested in comparing water intake over a multiple day event vs performance data and cramps etc.
Tracking water intake over several days of competition when you’re too busy to keep count easily can be tough.
So if this does the job of automatically tracking and then I’m able to view trends related to sporting performance then I’m in love.
