Comments on: HydraCoach Interactive Water Bottle http://the-gadgeteer.com/2009/10/07/hydracoach-interactive-water-bottle/ Gadget reviews and news by Julie Strietelmeier and friends since 1997 Sun, 27 May 2012 00:39:26 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: James Branch http://the-gadgeteer.com/2009/10/07/hydracoach-interactive-water-bottle/comment-page-1/#comment-45963 James Branch Thu, 08 Oct 2009 08:16:31 +0000 http://the-gadgeteer.com/?p=23000#comment-45963 Yeah... I may just agree with Mark on this one. It's a great idea, don't get me wrong, but as a runner I rely more on checking the colour of my urine before I start excercise.... as long as it's a pale (straw) colour then I'm fine to go out for a run. If not, I need more water. And, as Mark points out, you get water from fruit/veg/food/drinks during the day anyway. However, for people who simply don't eat/drink enough during the day and simply want to see how much water they've consumed from the HydraCoach, then I guess it would work well enough.

Fortunate for store I lost the recept couldnt take it back. I tried to use it for a week it was useless. Just drink 8 -12 glasses of water a day and dont waste your money I have this bottle for about a year now.. its no good and even if it was its cheap made and the plastic cover to the battery cover a and batter falls out first day.

You get water on a daily basis from the food you eat and the fluids you consume so basing water intake by weight alone will never work. The best way to tell if you have had enough water intake is to check the color of your urine. If its clear then you are hydrated correctly...and if its yellow then you are dehyrated.
