Apple Just Gave You A New Way To Track Your Water Intake

The more expensive HidrateSpark Pro Steel costs a pretty penny ($80) and comes in silver and black. This is a vacuum-insulated water bottle that Apple promises will keep your liquids cold for up to 24 hours. The Pro Steel can hold up to 32 ounces of liquid, and it comes with chug and straw lids to accommodate your drinking preferences. You can wash both the bottle and the lid in the dishwasher, and both are BPA-free. The LED puck should obviously be kept out of harm’s way, so you’ll have to resort to wiping it down with a damp cloth if you should ever need to clean it.

As mentioned, the LED puck does more than just look pretty — it transmits data via Bluetooth in real-time and that is where the Apple ecosystem comes in. You can sync your new water bottle to your iPhone or your Apple Watch. This helps both the bottle and the Apple Health app keep track of your water consumption.

If the $80 price tag is a bit too steep, there’s a cheaper variant too, but it’s not made out of steel like the first model. The less pricey option is dubbed the HidrateSpark Pro Tritan Plastic Sea Glass and it can be purchased in either a turquoise green or black color for $59.95. This is a 24-ounce bottle made out of sturdy Tritan plastic. Aside from being smaller and made from different materials, it’s similar to its more expensive counterpart. It still keeps your drink cold for up to 24 hours, it still has the LED sensor puck, chug/straw lids, and is BPA-free.
