What's The Big Fuss About This $55 Water Bottle?

<div><p>Do you get most of your water intake from coffee? The problem that most of us run into is reminding ourselves to drink the recommended eight glasses of water per day. It's easier to grab a coffee and be done with it. So if you have a reusable water bottle you never use, you're not alone. </p><p>But what if you could have a water bottle that tells you when you need hydrate? People like you are tired of falling short of their goals, and they're paying $55 to make it all go away. </p><p>A Kickstarter project called <a href="https://hidratespark.com/">Hidrate Spark</a> turned into a successful business when they started selling out of their smart water bottles. Their product uses specialized technology to track how much you drink and when you need more. It even has an app so you can connect it to your smartphone! </p><div><figure><amp-img src="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/03/hidrate-spark-water-bottle-app_zpsh1j3fa0c.jpg" srcset="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/03/hidrate-spark-water-bottle-app_zpsh1j3fa0c_GH_content_550px.jpg 550w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/03/hidrate-spark-water-bottle-app_zpsh1j3fa0c_GH_content_650px.jpg 650w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/03/hidrate-spark-water-bottle-app_zpsh1j3fa0c_GH_content_750px.jpg 750w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/03/hidrate-spark-water-bottle-app_zpsh1j3fa0c_GH_content_850px.jpg 850w" sizes="89vw" title="" alt="" height="9" width="16" layout="responsive"></amp-img><figcaption class="op-vertical-center"><cite>Cool Mom Tech</cite></figcaption></figure></div><p>"Hidrate Spark 2.0 tracks your water intake, connects via Bluetooth to hydration app, syncs with Fitbit, Apple Watch &amp; more, and glows to remind you to stay hydrated," their website says. </p><div><figure><amp-anim src="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/03/Pink-Hidrate-Spark-2-0-Glowing.gif" height="9" width="16" layout="responsive"></amp-anim><figcaption class="op-vertical-center"><cite>Hidrate Spark</cite></figcaption></figure></div><p><!-- [invalid-shortcode] --></p><p>So how exactly does it work?
