With a smart water bottle, your drink will stay colder longer, and you can track your H2O intake throughout the day. Some are even connected to apps that identify your long-term hydration patterns and allow you to set goals for how much you drink. Smart bottles have a diversity of functions, with some capable of purifying your water or adding nutrients to it. Others can act as bluetooth speakers or tea infusers. Whichever you choose, a smart water bottle is sure to make hydrating easier and more fun. Here are our favorites on the scene right now.
