before. They’re the type of gadget that’s helpful for a sliver of people and overcomplicated for everyone else. That about sums up the Gatorade Smart Gx, too. Unless you’re a self-quantifying endurance athlete who struggles to track hydration, there’s very little reason for you to even look at this thing.It’s not really a smart bottle; all the smarts are stuffed inside the lid. There are LED lights that flash periodically when it’s time for you to take a drink.
The reality is I could never drink that much from the Smart Gx bottle, partly because it made me feel like Violet Beauregarde from. But it was also because I had a hard time noticing the flashing reminders. I keep my bottle to the side of my desk. Sometimes I caught the LEDs blinking in my peripheral vision. Most times, I didn’t.
It’d be one thing if I could wear the patch elsewhere. The back of my neck, for instance, is the sweatiest part of my body; my forearms stay fairly dry. However, Gatorade says that the patch and algorithms are designed to be worn inspecific place: the left forearm. Results from any other area aren’t considered valid. Speaking of my forearm, even though I didn’t sweat enough to register a result, I did sweat enough to activate the orange dye.
I do love tech but smart bottles? Really?
