Drinking more water has never been easier with Day-Timer's HydraCoach bottle. It calculates your personal hydration needs, tracks your real-time fluid consumption, paces you throughout the day and motivates you to maintain optimal hydration. A "smart pad" calculates personal data to determine how much water you should be drinking a day. Getting 64 ounces a day is the average, but now you can determine how much is right for you.

The HydraCoach retails for $29.99 at www.daytimer.com. ...more
