GiottoLarge 1 Gallon/64 oz Motivational Water Bottle with Paracord Handle & Removable Straw - Leakproof Fitness Sports Water Jug with Time Marker

This water bottle has been helpful to to not only remind me to drink, but in keeping me hydrated in general because I don't have to keep refilling. The handle is convenient and a good way to hold it since holding it I need two hands. That would be one of my issues, but honestly, its a big bottle so I knew that wasn't a reality to have it super easy to hold. The positive messages on the side with the time has been effective for me to keep track of how much I am drinking and if I miss one hour I know that I will have to catch up. I work in a very hot environment so having this every day has become very important for my job. I like how I can add ice with the wide mouth, I love that it is leak proof if I remember to close the lid properly, and I am very happy with the straw for ease of drinking. The straw does cause some issues while closing if it doesn't line up properly and it can be tricky to get all the water at the bottom of the bottle sometimes. The fact that the handle clips allows me to clip it to my lunchbox. I also am finding myself wasting less time because I don't have to keep wandering away from my workplace to refill a smaller bottle or trying to find water elsewhere from a water fountain or something like that. The wide mouth also made it fairly simple to clean which was a big perk for me. My fiance has a smaller water bottle with a small mouth that is hard to clean and get into where this one is the complete opposite. Some of the lettering has started to scratch away, but that is also possibly where I have had it at my work site. Overall this is one of my best purchases this year and I am very happy with my decision. I would definitely recommend this!

I carry this to work every day. I drink at least 1 and 1/2 gallon in my 12 hour work day. Alot of walking involved in my job, and this is a perfect way to manage hydration, even without the cute motivators. I would love more color selections, but this is easy to carry around, Even when full. Cap locks, and I have never, ever had a spill.

Love it

I've had this around 3 years now, and I have beaten it up. I have never been all that nice to my water bottles, and this one being so big, especially did not get gentle attention. That to say, it has finally broken to where I'm not able to use it every day. The bottle itself is still in tact, bo cracks or leaks or anything. The lid however is not what it once was. The whole clip situation that holds the lid together is broken into multiple parts. It's been broken for about a year now, but tonight, it finally bit the dust. I will still probably use it around the house or something, but it will no longer travel with me as I don't want to risk spilling THAT much water. We get enough floods in my area, I don't need to add to it.This bottle has often been a conversation starter for me, which as an introvert who always wants to make friends but is terrible at it, was really cool. People are always so shocked by the size of my water bottle, and even more so when they find out I actually finish it most days.I bought this same bottle in different colors as gifts for multiple people, and all of them still use it. My husband's is having a similar problem as I did with the lid, and we'll probably be replacing his soon as well.All in all, this is such a great water bottle and I'm very sad that it broke.

Purchased on 10/22. Rec'd 10/24.LOVE the purple color!! It is BIG, but it's a Gallon. I expected that. It's 14 Inches TALL. 17.5 Inches AROUND the bottle just below the top at the 7AM mark.I already carry another gallon jug so it is not too heavy for me. LOVE the coiled handle. Seems very strong and comfortable to carry. Does NOT scratch skin on fingers. Like the LOCKING lid. Very convenient. I wash it by hand, so don't use a dishwasher. The 2-piece STRAW - I'm really NOT SURE WHY it has 2 pieces. It came with BOTH pieces connected. The shorter piece lifts the straw to make it FLUSH with the top opening. The straw does NOT stick out once the lid is opened.  I have to grab it with my fingernails to lift it up JUST A BIT to drink from it. -------------Love the sayings on the side. The times are 7 am, 9, 11, 1pm, 3,5, 7 & 9pm. I don't stay up that late cause I have to be up around 3-4 AM to get to work. SO I start drinking long BEFORE 7:00AM. Nonetheless, I can still tell IF I get the Gallon finished. I finish it in the first 2 days of having it. Third day, not so much.  -----------------It is BIG, and does fit in my 2011 Altima's Console AFTER I remove the cup holder. SEE PICs. It basically fills the WHOLE area of the console. It will be hard to drink from it while I drive as the straw is TOO SHORT to lift OUT of the container.I'd have to use my 14 inch straw for that and even that only has about  1 -1.2 inches above the rim, but I can drink from it. I cannot close the lid with my stainless steel straw in it, but I just leave it on my desk at work and drink. I don't carry it around!. That  would be too much trouble to try to drink from it while 'on the move', IMO.--------------------The TWO PIECE Straw IS strange. I'm NOT sure WHAT the purpose of that is. Does anyone know WHY they make it in TWO pieces???. The little short piece DOES NOT lift it high enough OUT of the top opening to drink from it so I don't know why it's made like this.-----------------I put Mint leaves in a tea bag or in ice cube tray & freeze and put them in the gallon to add some flavor to the water. Helps me drink it faster with a hint of Mint flavor. Lemon makes it taste bitter to me:).CON(s) - ONE that I've found, but I MAY have been the problem. Yesterday when I left work, water was at the 1 PM mark. I put the jug in my tote bag and put it in the car on the front passenger-side floor. While driving home (40mins), the bottle fell over and was lying on its side for that time. When I got home & lifted it up, the side of the tote was wet and some of the carpet on the car's floorboard. SO, I KNOW it leaked. I'm not sure if I was the one that caused it by NOT screwing the lid on tight enough when I got in the car OR if it really did leak on it's own.----------I may test this theory.BUT just know this jug SHOULD BE IN AN UPRIGHT position at all times :):)----------Do LOVE the PURPLE color.Will get another one!! as a backup to keep at home and may keep one in my desk at work. That way I won't have to transport it back & forth.Drink Up people!!!!!!=======================================UPDATE 11/1/2020 -The STRAW - I found another piece of the straw! SO, its a 3 PIECE STRAW!!!It is a TIP that WILL stick out of the top.(It was in the packaging bag & I overlooked it).SO, I updating my Review to include pictures of the tip that sticks up through the top to drink from.Nubian

I’ve had this water bottle for about 3 years. I’ve loved it I have, but there are some things I would change about it. The plastic smell in the bottle never leaves no matter how much you wash it, also the water will always taste a plasticy coming from it. Other wise the lids easy to open, it’s pretty easy to clean, you can take it everywhere pretty easily. Great for weightlifting not great for trail running❤️

Muy buen material

Love it! Absolutely love it! After a week of adjusting to a much larger amount of water than I’m used to and having to run to the toilet every few minutes I am now finishing my bottle by 5pm and then having another half by the time I go to bed. It has really improved my skin to drink that much. As someone with family history of AMD I was told to drink a lot and this bottle has made it easier to up and control my intake.The strap is very nice and sturdy. I just wish the straw was even just 1cm longer but aside from that I’m obsessed with my big a$$ flask :)
