This bottle is great for people who need a reminder to consume water. It is equipped with a sensor stick and a hydration app to seamlessly measure and track your water intake. You can easily customise the settings on the app like how many times it can glow, glow type (low, medium, high) and your daily water goal.

The bottle has a silicone sleeve which makes the grip smooth and is leakage free. It can easily be synced to the fitbit. The bottle is BPA free and is easy to wash as the bottom portion and lid are dishwasher safe. It might seem a bit pricey at first but its a great investment to keep your daily water intake in check.
2. Brita Stainless Steel Insulated Water Bottle with Filter

It has a built in replaceable filter in its straw which makes the filtering process seamless and hassle free. The stainless steel body makes it a sturdy, environmentally friendly product.

One of the possible problems is that some users find it difficult to suck the water from straw. So for that it is advised to keep the bottle vertical while drinking from it.
