Review on Bellabeat Spring Smart Glass Water Bottle – Hydration Tracker, Reminder & Customized Goals; 16oz, BPA-Free – Compatible with iPhone and Android by Richard Gaines

Firstly, if you are interested in this Bellabeat bottle and line of products, please wait to get an app subscription. It includes 30% discount codes for their products which of course you don't know about until you buy the products and get the app to maximize functionality. Now for reality: I love the idea of this bottle. It's tough enough for glass, and I love that you can order replacement parts from the Bellabeat website, which leads to the question why they're only that weird purple-grey color? It flickers when the water is cold, which messes up the dial at the bottom, which syncs to the app. So no fridge and no ice. The battery drains pretty quickly, after a week of use it says I have 75% battery charge. Here is a battery for 6 months! I've also found that the bottle sometimes takes extra time to sync with the app. As a result, your drinking information may not be recorded until the bottle has been synced a few times. Also, Bellabeat's customer support really sucks. I have that and the leaf chakra. To maximize the usefulness of these articles, I decided to try their app membership as well. Can't get the membership to work properly, Bellabeat is only available via email when they find it convenient, which used to be between 3am and 10am EST. So far they have really dismissed issues with their products and I have spent 3 days trying to resolve the issues. I'm trying to resolve issues with Revain support, but I just got disconnected after waiting 15 minutes for a response.
