Hydration is the key to success. No, really, we're serious here. Water is what gives us life. And beyond that, proper hydration levels keep our bodies functioning properly, our skin glowing, and our energy up all day long. But as simple as it sounds, remembering to drink enough water in a day has somehow become a challenging task. Lucky for us, there are tons of products on the market to make this simple chore far more enjoyable, sort of like a fun drinking game sans the alcohol buzz.
Smart water bottles come in all shapes, sizes, materials, and technologies these days. You’ll hear of water bottles with a plethora of features, but sometimes all the bells and whistles don’t quite fit your lifestyle. And sometimes, all you need is a little motivation to drink up. From collapsible options that save on space, to self-cleaning technology you occasionally have to hand wash, and even Bluetooth-connected smart water bottles that track how much you drink (welcome to the future), at the end of the day, a water bottle will have done its job if it makes you want to drink out of it.
While tech-savvy wellness enthusiasts might love a tracking device that syncs to their health app, others may find the idea of connectivity in a water bottle silly. Before you jump to conclusions, hear us out. And remember, not all smart water bottles are battery powered. Whichever style you prefer, remember a smart water bottle is really just a drinking vessel intelligently designed to solve a problem.
We created this guide to help you find the right water bottle that fits seamlessly into your days and your budget, so you can be a happy, healthier and hydrated human. Check out the 8 best smart water bottles of 2021, tested by the team at Men's Health, and decide if a smart water bottle is actually worth it, to you. While some tech options fall at a higher price point, remember than nothing is more important than staying hydrated.

Best Smart Water Bottle Overall
Hidrate Spark 3
amazon.com
$59.95
The Hidrate Spark was one of the first smart connected water bottles on the market. The brand has advanced their original design to a third generation, eliminating ticks from previous models. This baby tracks your water intake and literally illuminates to remind you to drink up. It syncs via Bluetooth to the Hidrate app, Fitbit, Apple Health, and more. (It’s even worthy enough to be sold at the Apple Store).
The advanced technology calculates and adjusts personal hydration goals based on your body and activity level. It has smart sensors that record how much you drink, instantly syncing it to your phone for that #connectedlife.
One of our favorite (yet not entirely important) features comes from location tracking. Just like “find my iPhone” you can “find my water bottle” and never lose it again. The lid is dishwasher safe, while the body and sensor are hand washable. One single charge lasts up to four months. This water bottle has it all. Soon your body will be trained to sip more often throughout the day making the $60 ticket well worth it.
Most Versatile Smart Water Bottle
Ozmo Smart Cup
ozmoamazon.com
$89.99
So, the Ozmo doesn’t look like your typical water bottle. It appears as a coffee cup with a lid, which isn’t necessarily wrong. The Ozmo Smart Cup, in fact, is made for activity. It can carry any type of liquid, sealed with intelligence through sensing both water and coffee, with the ability to manually input other beverages. Ozmo gets to know your body through a few key metrics and recommends exactly how much water you should be drinking each day, while also limiting your coffee consumption.
The flashing LED lights communicate both achievement and are a reminder to take a sip or two to meet your hydration goals. You can customize your plan through the Oszmo app and sync it with Fitbit, Apple Watch, Garmin, and other fitness trackers to have your wellness tracking live in one place. You’ll get interactive reports to monitor your hydration over the course of a year for the super committed. An added bonus is the charging station, which keeps hot liquids warm at your desk.
Best Self-Cleaning Smart Water Bottle
LARQ Bottle
amazon.com
$95.00
The LARQ bottle doesn’t track your hydration through an app, but it is smart in the way it prepares your it for drinking. LARQ utilizes UV-C light technology to clean out bacteria that sticks around in between washes. Through the pandemic, UV-C light sanitization systems have been on the rise because of how efficient they are. This bottle sanitizes the entire inside, which can sometimes be a tricky task, even when hand scrubbing.
All you have to do is push a button for a 60-second light bath. And when it realizes you aren’t using it regularly, it self-cleans every two hours for the purest possible water. The double insulation version is a bit heavy, but it will keep your liquids hot or cold for an entire day. If you’re looking for a lighter option without the insulation, opt for the LARQ Movement. Clean freaks, you're going to love this.
Best Smart Water Bottle for Travel
Monos Kiyo UVC Bottle
monos.com
$70.00
With a simple wave of a finger (insert Harry Potter reference here), the UVC technology in the Monos’ Kiyo UVC water bottle purifies drinking water inside, eradicating up to 99.99% of bacteria. That means you can fill up your water bottle from the faucet, lake, river, or refrigerator and rest assured that what you’re drinking is clean.
If you’re really thirsty, you can swipe once for a quick clean mode (60 seconds) or wait three minutes on deep clean mode by swiping twice. The soft design doesn’t look as high tech as it is, taking inspiration from classic artisan pottery.
It charges via USBC-C in just 3 hours for 30 days of normal use. It’s a great portable option that fits in a purse, backpack, or carry-on, while remaining easy to carry and impressive on style. You can’t track your hydration levels, so this is a great option for someone that isn’t always connected, but always on the go.
Best Smart Water Bottle for the Outdoors
Thermos Hydration Bottle with Connected Smart Lid
amazon.com
$59.99
$39.40 (34% off)
Thermos isn’t new to the hydration game, but the classic reusable water bottle brand has now stepped into the tech space. They recently launched a smart lid and phone app that senses your water intake and tracks your progress via Bluetooth. The sensor tube reads the volume and temperature of your liquid and tracks it over time.
It is intelligently designed to act as your real time hydration coach with push notifications throughout the day. The tube measures your bottle’s current fill level. While some other smart water bottles on this list can be heavier in weight, require time and patience to learn, and feel like a fragile piece of tech, the Thermos Smart Lid is does not. It's your basic old outdoor-friendly water bottle, now with a tracking feature.
Icewater 3-in-1 Smart Water Bottle
amazon.com
The Icewater 3-in-1 smart water bottle makes the list as our favorite Bluetooth-enabled speaker. It’s not something entirely necessary, and it doesn’t track your hydration levels, but it’s a fun way to always remember your water bottle for a day’s outing, because if you don’t, you’ll be without music, too. And the base in this tiny speaker exceeded some pretty low expectations.
While there’s no true pattern to its glowing method, the illumination is supposed to remind you to drink up. The tech isn’t as advanced as some of the others on this list, but if you’re looking for an affordable, music-enabled option for summer, this is your guy.
Healthiest Smart Water Bottle
Level Up Way Glass Hydrogen Generator
amazon.com
$89.80
Wellness junkies are probably aware of the potential benefits to the hydrogen water hype. Essentially, hydrogen water is regular water with gas that may have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Some researchers say it slows down the process of aging, has better mineral absorption and improves muscle recovery after a workout. While current research is limited, those aiming to stay on top of the latest health trends (and boast about it) will love the potential benefits of this hydrogen-forming smart water bottle.
The Level Up Way glass bottle lets you turn any water into hydrogen water through something called SPE PEM technology. At the press of a button, and a little patience (6 minutes to be exact), this smart bottle ionizes your water making it more bioavailable, introducing molecular hydrogen. Hydrogen water can be expensive, so this one-time purchase is worth your hard-earned money, if you can commit to it.
Best Non-Tech Smart Water Bottle
Giotto Large Motivational
Giottoamazon.com
$19.99
This water bottle has zero tech features, but it's smart in how it motivates you to drink up throughout the day. You might laugh or think it's cheesy, but these little reminders actually work and train your brain to look forward to these tiny milestones.
If you're staring at a plain cup, you are much less likely to take a sip and refill than you are to hit the goals listed on this jug. If a $20 water jug can up your hydration levels, take that as a major win.
