The Gatorade Smart Gx Bottle is a tech-enabled squeeze bottle designed to help athletes set and track their daily hydration goals. Shelf stable beverages are safe to consume past the recommended use by date but may experience slight changes in flavor or color as the product ages. Gatorade says the Gx smart bottle syncs with the Gx app every 30-60 seconds to keep track of your hydration progress. As well as looking cool, these lights act as your tracker — if you press the button, you’ll see how close you are to meeting your hydration goal throughout the day.Once you’ve finished a workout, the patch can be scanned in the Gx app, and will tell you your sweat rate, and the sodium concentration of your sweat.

Without these technologies, things like personalised recommendations, your account preferences, or localisation may not work correctly. Sure, in the run-up to a race I’ll add some hydration sachets to my water, but most of the time I drink to thirst. It would be good to see the recommended hydration levels on the bottles change when users scan a sweat patch, as I found despite both using the app, they didn’t feel awfully connected.Partnerships with pro sports teams and elite sports academies allowed Smart Design technologists to prototype, test and revise the design—eight iterations in total—under tough, realistic conditions.

Once you’ve refilled the water bottle, the lights on the bottle flash blue once the bottle has recalibrated. If you’ve already done that, your item hasn’t arrived, or it’s not as described, you can report that to Etsy by opening a case. To insure the Gx Smart Bottle worked flawlessly under the toughest conditions, Smart Design took responsibility for engineering all parts and assembly methods. As a runner, I don’t tend to carry water with me on my runs unless I’m going out for longer than an hour, or unless the weather is super warm. The ratings/reviews displayed here may not be representative of every listing on this page, or of every review for these listings.If the future has charging water bottles, Gatorade is already there — simply plug the bottle in, charge it up, and you’re good to go. Of course, the Smart Gx Bottle isn’t Gatorade’s first product that strives to bring athlete-level tech to the masses.

By observing how a prototype worked on the field, and interviewing players and coaches to get fine-grained reactions, we could then modify, update, and iterate.The drinks giant said it provides daily hydration recommendations and tracking capabilities with a light-up cap that reminds athletes of their daily recommended hydration goal and how they’re tracking in real-time. I’ll admit, I was skeptical about the need for a smart water bottle when this arrived — what can this bottle do that my Chilly’s can’t (other than not hold ice or coffee)? Editor's note: It's been reported that the first batch of Smart Gx bottles had leaking issues, though the bottle that we received did not. ImpacX, an Israeli tech company, worked on the sensors and processors, while manufacturers in Tennessee and China helped dial in the molded details and complex internal structure. If you’ve ever gotten to the end of the work day and realized you’ve only consumed one cup of coffee, this is a smart tool that’ll make you think twice about how much you’re drinking.
