Title: Review: Thermos Connected Hydration Bottle with Smart Lid Post by: HCK on November 03, 2016, 04:05:28 pm Review: Thermos Connected Hydration Bottle with Smart Lid

Well-known beverage container maker Thermos' new Connected Hydration Bottle with Smart Lid ($60) aims to "smarten" the portable water bottle by adding the ability to help you keep track of how much water you're drinking to stay hydrated and healthy. A companion Thermos Smart Lid iOS app runs on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch and syncs with the bottle's Smart Lid via Bluetooth LE to monitor and update your drinking stats. In designing the Connected Hydration Bottle, Thermos partnered with iDevices for the app development and technical design, along with performance training firm EXOS to develop the hydration calculator in the app. Thermos has also partnered with Fitbit to provide direct integration for logging hydration data alongside other health and fitness data in the Fitbit app. Sadly, HealthKit does not appear to be supported at this time.{/exp:char_limit} Source: Review: Thermos Connected Hydration Bottle with Smart Lid (http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/reviews/entry/thermos-connected-hydration-bottle-with-smart-lid) |
