The Smart Gx Bottle
This is a squeeze bottle that's integrated with technology engineered to assist users set and keep track of their everyday hydration objectives.
The bottle cap features a sensor that computes the amount of liquid in the bottle when you leave it on an even surface.

This measurement will be the amount of liquid drunk within a given period.
The Sweat Patch
You stick the sweat patch on your forearm it measures sweat output during a workout.

Additional sweat patches can be purchased separately for $24.99 (for 2 patches).
