I really thought this product would work for me but sadly it didn’t. For me, it was very confusing on how everything worked and for some reason the patch did not work for me. I also had trouble while using the app. It took me a while to figure out how to work everything! When I finally figured it out, for some reason my patch wouldn’t sync. Really awesome concept, just wish it worked me!

I tried one of the Gatorade Sweat Patches today for the first time on my normal gym visit. I spent 46 minutes exercising. About 25 minutes as a moderate jog and the remaining weight lifting with embedded cardio. I always thought I didn’t sweat much, but this patch verified that! After 46 minutes of exercise, the patch JUST barely began to fill. I tried 3 times to scan it into the Gx app and on the third try, it finally read the patch and gave me a result where it told me that I should slow down hydration because I may overhydrate myself! I find the app slightly clunky and difficult to use. It often repeats itself and asks the same questions over and over. The Home Screen is not innate to the user as to what to enter and where. It will work with the Health app in your iPhone which I find as the easiest way to send information to the Gx app. Overall, I would not start using this regularly over my iPhone workouts app or the health app in my phone to track workouts. I am a good water drinker anyway, so I don’t need to guidance to drink specific amounts of water. Beware, the sweat patch is best served by those who sweat significantly during workouts.

I was super excited to try this sweat patch during my workouts. I think the technology is super cool, however, the execution just isn’t there yet. The first patch I tried completely fell off. The second patch I tried only sort of worked (as evidenced by the gaps in color in the patch). I think it’s cool as a 1 or 2 use product, but I just don’t see the longevity of using it with the app, especially since the patches aren’t cheap.

I think that the idea is great and interesting. Though the patch did not work the best for me. I tried it 2 times but it was like it was not absorbing my sweat the best. I’m not sure if just the placement on the inner arm was just a bad place but it didn’t get significant results. I would try this again possibly to see if maybe it was user error but I do like the concept of this a lot!

I like the idea behind it but I noticed you have to sweat a lot to make it work so I would say it’s more for serious workouts and not ones where you just sweat a little. The app was also a little confusing to me but after I figured it out it wasn’t bad

This product is for the more more advanced athlete over someone who just works out a few times a week more casually. I would recommend working on the UX of the app as it feels clunky and not intuitive. I would also suggest the being more explicit on the directions on how to use the water bottle, potentially update the video on the PDP with something more descriptive. It’s too pricey to compete with other regular sport drinks and the app and sweat tracker is for more advanced athletes, I guess I fall somewhere in between because the value of the product was lost on me.

This product is very innovative and cool but don’t see myself using this product or repurchasing. Just not really a need for me!

This motivated me to work out hard to fill it up, but it also started to fall off before I was done. Might need to test different areas to try it.
