Smart Water Bottles Created For Utility

The H2OPal app connects to the water bottle to track consumption via the tracker in the base of the bottle. The app sends smart and timely notifications if you ever get off track throughout the day.
The best part of the bottle is the removable tracker, which allows it to be cleaned easily and be attached to different water bottles.

Hydra Smart Bottle
This tech-savvy water bottle is a camper's best friend. This water bottle is a lantern, Bluetooth speaker, and power bank all in one. The speaker can sync with your phone to play soothing music or your current playlist. The one downside: this powerful bottle doesn't have a hydration reminder, so it may be the best option for you if you already can remember to drink all your water.
The water bottle has a ton of great features that can be used by fitness fanatics, outdoorsy folk, and even the busy bees. It has important tools that could be used during a number of different situations (I'm talking to you, power bank). My favorite: the lamp can be switched into emergency mode to call for help.
