EQUA Smart Water Bottle - 23 oz - Bluetooth Water Intake Tracking with Light Up Reminders - Stainless Steel Double Wall Insulated

The bottle itself is beautifully designed and very nice to look at. It’s also great that it’s metal and not plastic. The fact that the base in rechargeable was a big selling point to me too because replacing those button batteries quite often in previous smart water bottles got old pretty quickly.That’s about the best that I can say for this bottle.It monitors how much water you’ve had but doesn’t give good reminders to drink.I bought this to replace the two Hidrate Spark bottles that I have, because the Equa one is metal and not plastic like the Hidrate Spark ones.Unlike the Hidrate ones, the Equa app does not remind you to drink with a notification on your phone - this would be so beneficial as I don’t have my bottle attached to my hip or in my pocket, meaning that seeing a notification on my phone would remind me to drink far more than missing the bottle glowing when I’m in another room.The Equa app also doesn’t log your intake very well, again because there’s no notification on my phone, coupled with having a busy lifestyle, I forget to open the app throughout the day. It can be a week before I remember to open the app and by that point it isn’t able to input your intake for that entire time and will only log what you’ve had that day... unlike the Hidrate app.Perhaps if I hadn’t tried Hidrate then this Equa bottle would be more of a hit with me, however now that Hidrate are launching a rechargeable metal bottle, I have already pre-ordered one and will be (happily) going back to Hidrate; I was way more hydrated using their bottle, often exceeding my daily target and with the Equa bottle it is only once in a blue moon that I will even meet my target of water intake.

Tracker didn’t work and had a heck of a time dealing with suppose to get a replacement. I’m waiting for the second one to arrive but right now I would not recommend

The ring broke off after one week of use.
