A smart water bottle can help you track how much water you consume on a daily basis, and nudge you to drink more if you're lacking. However, they're not a necessity for most consumers.
There are several good reasons why you might want to invest in a smart water bottle, but there are plenty more reasons to skip it and just buy a regular one.
Here's what you should know about the usefulness and practicality of a smart water bottle.
What are smart water bottles?
The term "smart water bottle" is a bit vague because they can vary depending on features. Generally, however, smart water bottles connect to your iPhone and give you data on how much water you've had.
Most options on the market will have a few sensors that determine how much liquid you've consumed. These sensors can be placed on the cap of the bottle, at the bottom, or inside of a bottle's cover. These sensors are generally powered by either rechargeable batteries or replaceable coin cell batteries.
