The Ozmo Active Smart Cup tries to track your daily water and coffee consumption, but it doesn't always get it right.

so today i am looking at something a
little different it is a
bluetooth-enabled cup called osmo it
started out on Kickstarter it was fully
funded
and now it's available for purchase it
cost 80 bucks but is currently on sale
for 60 so it's pretty pricey even with a
discount but the idea is that it's
supposed to be able to know the
difference between water and coffee and
it has a related app that's this thing
right here and it tracks
both your water intake and your caffeine
intake to make sure you're getting
enough water and not drinking too much
coffee so I have put some water in here
and i'm going to try it out right now
just to see how well it does
ok so actually i just took a big sip of
water and it thought it was coffee so
that's not a great result from this
thing I had tried it earlier and it was
doing pretty well so I haven't actually
run into this yet so by now i have spent
all day with osmo and i would definitely
consider it an anomaly that it confused
the water for the coffee at this point
it did a pretty good job overall
throughout the day even though I tried
to confuse it by using warm water and
iced coffee is still did a pretty good
job
that said first 60 bucks and that's the
sale price
I'm not sure that pretty good is good
enough I'd also like to see a lot more
features I'd like to see it be able to
pick up on other caffeinated beverages
like tea and soda because most people
don't just drink one thing
so if they manage to do those things I
think this would be easier to recommend
that right now I would hold off on
buying
