Yes. I found a few current options that actually measure your intake with sensors and sync it to a companion app, rather than simply reminding you to drink.

1. HidrateSpark PRO 2 — best overall for hydration tracking
I'd choose this if your main goal is: "Tell me exactly how much I've drunk today."
2. LARQ Bottle PureVis 2 — best if you also want water purification
I'd choose this if you'd actually use the purification/filtering features; otherwise you're paying substantially more just for tracking.
3. WaterH Boost — budget alternative
It's worth considering if you want the smart-bottle experience without spending $80–$130, although HidrateSpark has the more established app ecosystem.
| HidrateSpark PRO 2 | LARQ PureVis 2 | WaterH Boost | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Automatic intake tracking | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ |
| App/ecosystem | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | ⭐⭐⭐ |
| Reminders | Glow + sound + app | App + bottle | LED |
| Health integrations | Excellent | Good | More limited |
| Extra features | Find My | UV + filtration | Temperature control |
| Approx. price | $80–85 | ~$129 | ~$47–55 |
| Best for | Serious tracking | Premium all-in-one | Budget |
One caveat: these aren't medical-grade hydration monitors—the measurements are intended for habit tracking rather than clinical use. Consumer Reports' 2025 comparison specifically tested the HidrateSpark and LARQ models, so those are the two I'd have the most confidence investigating further.
My recommendation: get the 32-oz HidrateSpark PRO 2 if you primarily care about automatic tracking and a good app.
If you tell me your budget (e.g. under $50, $100, or no limit) and whether you're on iPhone or Android, I can narrow it down to the best 2–3 choices.
If by “smart” you mean a bottle that automatically tracks how much you drink and reminds you to hydrate, my pick right now is the HidrateSpark PRO 2.
Men's Health also currently lists the PRO 2 as its Best Smart Water Bottle, praising the tracking, reminders, insulation and Apple Health integration.
If you care more about water purification/self-cleaning than precise hydration tracking, look at the LARQ PureVis 2. Its UV-C system is the major differentiator, whereas the HidrateSpark is more focused on tracking your actual intake. Consumer Reports specifically compared these two as leading smart bottles.
Bottom line: For most people who specifically want a smart bottle, I'd go with the HidrateSpark PRO 2. If you tell me your budget, preferred size (24/32 oz), and whether you use iPhone or Android, I can narrow it down further.

The best smart water bottles on the market prioritize two distinct features: automated hydration tracking via an app or built-in UV-C self-cleaning purification.
Here are the top-rated options available today, depending on what you need most:
Best For Tracking : Universally considered the top pick for purely monitoring how much you drink, utilizing a smart base sensor that accurately records your sips ["0.6.10"].
Standout Features : Features a glowing LED ring that flashes to remind you to drink, a vacuum-insulated stainless steel body that keeps water cold for 24 hours, and auto-syncing with Apple Health and Fitbit ["0.6.3", "0.6.5"].
Best For Purification : This premium choice focuses heavily on water sanitation and clean taste ["0.6.10"].
Standout Features : Uses built-in UV-C LED technology to automatically eliminate 99.99% of biocontaminants every two hours while seamlessly tracking your water intake via the companion LARQ App ["0.6.10"].
Best Value : A slightly more affordable alternative that balances both tracking and simple physical filtration ["0.6.8"].
Standout Features : Includes an LED display indicator, an internal filter to remove chlorine taste, app-based reminders, and full integration with fitness trackers ["0.6.8"].[2][4]

| Bottle | Best for | Tracking | Extra features |
|---|---|---|---|
| HidrateSpark PRO 2 | Most people | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Glow reminders, app sync |
| LARQ PureVis 2 | Travel & premium use | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | UV-C cleaning/purification |
| BOOST |
My pick: For a true water-intake tracker, I’d choose the HidrateSpark PRO 2. If you would also benefit from water purification and a premium travel bottle, the LARQ PureVis 2 is the more feature-rich option.
I can also compare these against popular non-smart bottles like entity["brand","Owala FreeSip"] and entity["brand","YETI Rambler"] if you’re deciding whether the smart features are worth paying for.
