The Nix Hydration Biosensor is a first-of-its-kind wearable that analyzes your sweat and gives you personalized hydration data. Nix analyzes specific biomarkers in your sweat to measure fluid and electrolyte loss to give you personalized hydration metrics - telling you when, what, and how much to drink.
The Experience
Firstly, the packaging is incredible, and the biosensor has a surprisingly great build quality. It’s simple to set up and get activated before a workout. The pod clips onto a single-use, disposable sweat patch – think “patch, attach, and go”.
After testing the device, I found you will need to be pretty sweaty before getting a reading (note it takes 25 minutes to get your first data update). I suggest you use the device during a high-intensity workout or a workout that is at least an hour - this is because the patches are single-use, and your training could start to become expensive.
Another highlight is you can act quickly based on the real-time data and see how your sweat composition changes based on internal and external factors; this allows you to adjust what you are doing during your workout.
How it Works:
When you purchase a Nix Biosensor, you receive (1) Pod (this is what clicks into the single-use patch to read and transmits data to the Nix App, (4) Sweat Patches (remember these are one-time use) you can always purchase additional patches, (1) charging case (for the Pod) and a USB cable.
