Smart Thermos Connects With Fitbit

Hydration has a new hero. Not this guy. The Thermos Brand has introduced its Connected Hydration Bottle with Smart Lid in Canada (it’s been in the U.S. for a while, now), which is designed to help thirsty folks monitor water intake using a Thermos Smart Lid app. It also connects to Fitbit so users can track water intake and meet hydration goals during activity. The free app is available in English and French on the Apple App Store and lets users set personalized daily water intake goals based on age, gender, height, weight and activity level. A sensor tube on the lid detects how much water is consumed throughout the day and syncs with the Thermos Smart Lid app through a Bluetooth connection to provide automatic tracking. The app will also remind users to drink more water when they are not on track to meet their goal. The bottle tracks each drink of water toward the overall progress on the user's daily, weekly and monthly hydration objectives.
