LARQ 4+

I was truly impressed with this water bottle, I was never a Stanley girl and this was something I was weary of completely. It proved me wrong. Day 1 I kept checking to see if it was cold and sure enough it was, the crisp taste of the water never left. Then 3 days later after I left it at my office I came back and it was still cold and crisp and just made me think of how magical this thing really is. Stanley could never complete. I love the design and color of it, versatile and gender neutral… my husband can use and won’t think it’s girly. I like how it’s not heavy and it’s hard metal where it doesn’t dent or scratch easily. Very well designed! Lastly I think this would be good for teens or older people, people who are always on the go and those who like to be at leisure at home.

Overall the app doesn’t do that much. I appreciate the features it has though. I would absolutely love an Apple Watch companion app and accompanying watch complication to see how much of my water intake goal I am completing throughout the day. I work in a place where I can’t have a water bottle on my person and it would be convenient to see that information on my watch instead of just on the bottle or looking at the app. The other thing I’d like to see is a find my Larq feature or a left behind feature similar to an AirTag. It would be a shame to lose the bottle and it having Bluetooth, I feel like that is possible. Might drain the battery though.

The app doesn’t seem to stay connected to the bottle very well, or it is aggressive with power saving. Either way pressing the button on the bottle seems to reconnect it by waking it up so that works I guess. Makes the tracking less real time though in my experience. Overall I love the bottle and it is an incredible product, has fantastic design, and a true purpose. I hope to see it improve over time.

The LARQ bottle pairs really well with the app, it is easy to connect and seems to automatically prompt you to it. There are only a few tabs in the app one that lets you fill in personal account information and one that shows your charts and graph of your daily water intake. You can do a manual clean with the app button but you would honestly be able to just do it on the LARQ bottle itself with the logo button on top. As for how accurate the app shows the intake varies. I feel like the bottle needs a little of time to calibrate how much water was just drank especially if you chugged down a big amount. The bottle is nice but it feels a little too expensive to me. As a user who mainly has it sitting at home I have not found the “worth the money aspect” yet. I believe once I take this bottle along with me traveling it will start to gain its value of usage. Over all I am satisfied with the function, tech and idea but I cannot justify the price just yet. I will update with my thoughts as I keep this bottle longer.
