Are smart water bottles actually worth it?

Across the reviewers we read, smart bottles tend to be worthwhile mainly for people who genuinely struggle to remember to drink water — those with ADHD, busy office workers, or anyone trying to build a habit. Specialist-community threads consistently note that the bottles are 'harder to lie to' than a manual tracker app, but also flag that flaky companion apps and finicky sensors are the most common complaints. If you already hydrate reliably, the smart features add cost without much benefit.
