This was the very first Owala bottle that I bought and after months of use, I am extremely satisfied with my purchase. I bought this water bottle because I tend to collect water bottles, and am always looking for the "new" thing. I bought this after seeing that Owala offered two methods of drinking, either with a straw or by gulping like any water bottle that doesn't offer the use of a straw. Not only this, but it has a button lid, where the lid also locks. I have horrible OCD and am constantly worried about the contamination of my lids and where I put my mouth, so the fact the lid covers the lip of where you drink out of is amazing. It also provides a lock, that doubles as a carrying handle, which is genius. The Owala bottles are easy to clean, being able to fit your hand in them and also any bottle brush due to the uniform size. The bottle keeps drinks cold, and even ice! I use this bottle as a nightstand bottle overnight constantly, and wake up to ice still in the bottle the next morning and even a day later. My only complaint with the bottle is how easy to scratch it (even with stickers covering it for protection and an official Owala boot for the bottle, which I also highly recommend) and how fragile the hinge and button of the lid can be. It's very easy to snap the hinge off and for the button spring to become finnicky, although I haven't had any issues with my button (knock on wood). I've seen some Owala bottles, however, in target have sticky buttons, loose buttons, and just-right buttons. It's a gamble ordering it online, but I was lucky enough to get one that was just fine. I love Star Wars and red and black is my color scheme, so the fact I could get a Darth Vader-themed water bottle with a Star Wars engraving was awesome. Oh! It also includes stickers. Overall, I highly recommend this water bottle for anybody looking for the "next new thing" or simply has a water bottle addiction like I used to. Actually, ever since buying Owala bottles, I haven't felt the need to buy any other water bottles, which says a lot. They're THAT good. This bottle offers a lot of functionality, with a lot of different colors and variations available for whatever style you prefer. I love this water bottle and have had no issues with it after using it for almost every single day.
