I feel that bottles with paint and complicated parts won’t last as long as simple unpainted bottles like nalgenes.
But hey, if you enjoy your water bottle, embrace it. As long as you’re not buying dozens of them, it is a tool and you should have the best tool for your everyday life.
Hydro flask sells lightweight 40oz that I’ve had for going on 4 years now. I’ve dropped it down a hill and dinged the edge, but it’s the lightest insulated bottle I’ve ever found, and they use a vinyl wrap instead of paint. Still scratches, etc, but the bottle is great. It weighs less full than some of the more ridiculous 40oz bottle do empty.
I watched the entire video. Guy is talking about how water bottles have become nothing more than trendy fashion. Not too much about any design flaws, other than maybe the bottles getting dented.
That said, I got mine before the trend. As an avid water-drinker who has tried many many bottles prior: it’s legitimately a fantastic water bottle! It’s easy as fuck to clean, multiple drinking options, has NEVER popped open in my bag and soaked all my shit, and a bunch of other shit.
I like it. Love it, actually. If more people get them, cool. If they don’t, that’s fine. Seems like the dude is more mad at people hopping on collecting trends. I get that. It’s marketing. Sure. However, that said, it’s a fantastically functional water bottle that I have recommended to anybody who expresses interest in a bottle.
Sorry to be negative about your water bottle but I feel like all the recent colorful water bottles are all plastic fashion accessories.

Makes sense, makes sense. Yeah, my only exposure to them is as a trend.
I mean the powder coated metallic ones should last a long time.
