I have been using the LifeFuels smart water bottle for almost two years now, so I am obviously very excited about this product.

When I first received the water bottle I was a little taken aback by how heavy it was, but once I realized it carries a battery pack, 16.9 ounces of water, and these FuelPods that add extra flavor, I stopped complaining. Plus, there’s a sturdy lanyard around the neck of the bottle for carrying.

Now you’re probably wondering, why would you need a smart water bottle to track your water intake? LifeFuels’ product syncs with an app that not only tracks your water and multivitamin intake, but also gives you an overview of your hydration habits in general. I didn’t realize how much water I wasn’t drinking until I started using this product.

Although the company launched in 2015, LifeFuels’ smart water bottle didn’t hit the market until September 2019. After an initial failed prototype, it took the company a few years to turn the product into what it is today.
