Aside from having the ability to monitor what is lurking in H2O, Ecomo also allows users to set up personalized hydration goals to help remind them to drink water throughout the day. Once again making use of the smartphone application connectivity, the water bottle helps keep track of the amount of water consumed each day and even boasts the ability to sync with fitness trackers.

Available in a wide range of colors — such as gold, silver, black, blue, and many others — Ecomo figures to retail for roughly $129 to those who act on the Kickstarter campaign first.

As of now, the company only offers the ability to sign up for updates via its website as it prepares to launch on Kickstarter next week.
