You already have this built into you, it's called urine color. Clear or light yellow means you're in the green zone, yellow means you should drink more and dark orange means that you're dehydrated.

Any behavior that one turns into a habit generally becomes rather automatic. I've been drinking the appropriate amount of water daily for years. A hard core enthusiastic highly fit athlete... as a lifestyle, my water intake doesn't rely on digital assistance. Nor do I have a burning desire to track something that's been a habit I learned as a boy.
... until you're hanging out at Mel Gibson's house and the aliens arrive.
Up next, Bluetooth Noseplugs that will tell you how much you're breathing.
For me, it's TMI.
But I'd buy it if they repackage the tech into a pet's water bowl that notifies the owner when it's empty.

Sounds like it solves a problem no one has but then creates one no one wants -- something to hand wash. Isn't that like the opposite of technological advancement?
Damn, I have to choose between a water bottle and the Apple Pen. Oh, the choices!
Or the matching earplugs that will let you know when you are near harmful decibel levels. Or the...

Finally!
There are some products that when you see them, you realize your life has been empty until then. I think this is one of those products. There's just something about being able to precisely measure your water drinking by using a special water cup.
My hope is that this type of innovation will continue. For example, what about a soup bowl? I currently have NO idea how much soup I eat. What about a toilet that measures my fluid outflow? I currently have no idea what the volume or my pee is. What about clothes that measure my perspiration? The possibilities for measuring fluid inflow and outflow are endless.

For what it's worth, there is a product called a "HydraCoach" that basically does the same thing (albeit without support for hot liquids AFAIK). It's 30 bucks at their website.
Yeh... but is it Paleo? Can't take it seriously if it's not Paleo. Is it OK to put my Paleo fruit and chocolate smoothies in, just like our ancestors did 10,000 years ago? Is it OK for alkaline water? And what about the electrosmog it generates? Does it affect the vibrational energies of the water? Why aren't they telling us? Nothing on the website... they're hiding something... they're going to affect our water and corrupt our body fluids... it's Big Water, and the Government, and the Bilderberg group, controlling our minds so they can take away our guns and make us have that vaccine poison forced on us, well, my internet natural health guru says we shouldn't take it and we're only safe if we use his Paleo Quantum vibrational balancing mercury-free Chi enriched alkaline water crystals (Special introductory price $89) and they'll keep our minds free and allow us to make sensible decisions about our health and freedom! Hell yeah, this thing is the DEVIL!
As funny as that may seem ...
Take a look at the movie "The Island" with Lincoln 6 Echo ... and you'll see that same urinal along with many other 'SMART' accessories long before the iPhone debuted. I'm personally just waiting for the sleek Puma gear for all iPhone users to done everyday as the new status quo.
That would be fun - as well as Apple Watch telling you to stand up and do an athletic twirl every hour it could also bug you to drink more water. Eventually you decide to merge the two devices and drop the watch in the Vessyl and peace is restored to your life.
PS. If you put beer in the Pryme Vessyl does it SMS your wife and tell her you're on the suds again?
This would be good for my elderly mother but then again, she would have to remember to recharge it.
This could actually be slightly useful if they made it work with alcoholic beverages instead. Even then, probably not. You know the size of the container you drink from, and who the heck needs to carefully monitor water intake?
But that's SO 2014!

We didn't! All our ancestors are dead. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM! This device would have SAVED THEM!
Yeah, I know someone who has an app to track their fluid intake, a fitbit thing to make them stand up and move, another app to more completely organise their exercising, and office-delivered, calorie-controlled meals. I don't think it's working.
Don't do it! You can't even imagine the danger!
