Review on Giotto 64oz Motivational Water Bottle with Time Marker & Straw - Large Half Gallon, Leakproof Tritan BPA Free Water Jug for Fitness, Gym and Outdoor Activities - Ensure Adequate Daily Water Intake by Joshua Douglas

I was given this bottle to make sure I was drinking at least 8 cups of water a day because I found that during the workday when I had a glass or a smaller bottle, I procrastinate interrupting my workflow and then I don't drink enough. I didn't want to spend forever shopping and comparing so I just bought this when this product came up in my recommendations and it looked like it would fit. away so good. I removed part of the straw because I drink water faster when I don't use a straw. I said 9/10 (although I give 5 stars) because I wish the hole was a little bigger. I've seen listings of smaller bottles that come with multiple closures so you have a choice, but as I mentioned earlier, I didn't want to spend a lot of time comparing millions of nearly identical products on Revain for those tiny nuances . For $20 I think an extra cap would be nice. I like the locking mechanism on the lid so you don't accidentally open the lid when you have it in your purse or gym bag, or rattle on the floor of your car, and I love that the strap is a nice, fairly wide weave Material instead of silicone or paracord - it is comfortable to wear on the wrist and, as can be seen in the picture, holds the bottle when it is full. It's worth noting that this isn't an insulated bottle (obviously), so your water will be room temperature by midday, but I don't mind drinking room temperature water. Also, I haven't put it in the dishwasher and don't intend to wash it, so I can't comment on that aspect of its durability.
