HidrateSpark PRO 20oz Insulated Stainless Steel Bluetooth Smart Tumbler, Brushed Stainless Steel

Works well

This is my third product from Hydrate Spark and I’m not disappointed with this purchase either. I absolutely love this tumbler because it feels so different from the traditional Hydrate Spark bottles and you can even have tea/coffee in this too!

I've been a customer of this company and their product through multiple generations of these water bottles. They are the reason I went from barely drinking any water daily to reaching my goal most days. While I don't use the flash feature throughout the day, reaching my goal at the end of the day while it tracks my water intake is a game changer for me. I've always found it easier to drink water out of a straw tumbler and I was so excited when this design came out. Some people may argue it doesn't track the water intake perfectly, but a few ounces here or there isn't really the end of the world for me. If it tracks an ounce or two less than I feel that I've drank then I just drink more. Drinking more water isn't a problem it is my goal.

Post bariatric surgery it is imperative that you keep your water consumption high and steady. The tracking it does is so ridiculously helpful. My husband and I share our tracking through the app, so we know to kindly nudge each other if we're really behind on our goal for that day. The app isn't perfect but it's pretty close. It lets you change what type of drink is in the cup, so the hydration count is accurate or manually track drinks you've had outside the cup. (My only small gripe with the app is for manual entries, if you swipe and find the type of drink first then adjust the amount, it resets the type of drink back to water. You have to remember to set the amount first, which of course I never do.) The notification reminders from the app are funny or adorable and not guilting or shaming or annoying. You can adjust those as well though if you don't love them. You can also set what times of day you'd like reminders so mine don't start until after I've finished my 1 daily cup of coffee. Also, with having ADHD I can become hyper focused on something and forget to sip. The light up bottom almost Pavlov's me into taking regular sips and allows me to stay hydrated without taking brain power away from my task. Post gastric bypass you can't take large gulps of water so it's hard to catch up if you fall behind in a day, so regular reminders to take small sips is key. And the cup doesn't sweat (aka water condensation on the outside) so that is nice. Now that I'm recovered, I'm hoping to buy one with a strap so it's easier to carry around all day as I'm out and about. This one is hard to keep in hand while towing kids, and a purse, and all the things' we tend to lug around so we can take care of everyone, including ourselves.

Easy set up. Durable and helps my pre-diabetic aging mum stay hydrated throughout the day.
