Hydration wearable

[jsmoke]

Came across this. Due to be released in October.

https://www.hdroptech.com/#:~:text=hDrop is a wearable device,better a person's hydration level.

I went OW swimming last night and woke up today with what felt like a bad hangover which I'm sure was because of dehydration. Now you could obviously say well just drink enough but if the price of this is OK I thought it could be pretty useful. Don't know if there's anything out there already.

Is having something flashing on your arm going to be a better indicator of hydration than your own thirst signals?

By OW swimming I take it that's 'open water' swimming?

Did you swallow any of the water?

If you feel thirsty you have often left it too long.

If you’re exercising at any sort sort of productive intensity then to avoid any impaired performance you need to be hydrated adequately beforehand. This is why pro athletes have some basic guidelines about hydration as feeling thirsty just before/during an event leaves it too late to correct.

Seems like a solution looking for a problem. Clear to straw-colour urine = you’re good.
