Gatorade sweat patches and smart bottle are meant to teach you about your personal hydration, but do they work? I tried them.
class, where, mind you, I sweat a lot, and in the app, it reported that my sweat rate was 21 to 24 ounces per hour, which is low compared to other athletes. Meanwhile, my sodium concentration is 11 to 25 milligrams per ounce.Once my sweat profile for Orangetheory was established, I was able to click into it to plan for future workouts. The app takes into consideration the duration of the workout and your previous sweat data to prepare a personalized fuel and hydration plan.
The bottle tracks how much you're drinking through a sensor in the lid. In the instructions, it says to tilt the bottle and then set it on a flat surface after each refill or sip, which triggers the bottle to sync and update your numbers. While I did that, over a week of testing it out, I found that the numbers didn’t add up. For example, the first day I used the bottle, I had finished an entire 30-ounce fill and my app was reporting that I’d only drank 21 ounces.
Even if it doesn’t calculate the exact amount I’m drinking, the fact that it lights up periodically to encourage sips is certainly helpful. The lid shows ticks along the circumference of the rim to indicate your overall goal. Each tick lights up solidly or blinks—the solid lights indicate how far you are along in your hydration goal for the day, while the blinking lights show where you should be by that time. Some days, I’m well ahead of my goal, while other days I’ve fallen behind.
