Decision:

As a designer, I'm pretty picky about form and function, and this Wrigleys thermos nails it for the most part. I got it a couple months back after my old one bit the dust, and it's been my daily driver ever since. The first thing I noticed was how well it maintains temperature—I filled it with boiling water in the morning, and by afternoon, it was still hot enough to enjoy. The digital temp readout is a game-changer; no more guessing or risking a scalded mouth. It's extremely durable; I've knocked it off my desk a few times, and it barely has a dent. That said, the display isn't perfect—on sunny days outdoors, it's a struggle to see, which is ironic for something called 'smart.' Also, it's a tad bulky, but I can live with that for the sturdiness. Packaging was intact when it arrived, no issues there. Overall, it's a solid upgrade, and as a brand loyalist, I'm happy with Wrigleys, though it's not flawless. Could be wrong, but I'd recommend it with minor reservations.

• Pros: The Wrigleys thermos keeps my coffee hot for hours, which is a lifesaver during long workdays. I love the digital display that shows the temperature—no more burning my tongue or drinking lukewarm stuff. It's built like a tank, surviving drops and daily abuse without a scratch. The design is sleek and modern, fitting right in with my minimalist aesthetic.
• Cons: The display could be brighter in direct sunlight, making it hard to read sometimes. It's a bit heavier than I expected, which adds weight to my bag. The lid can be tricky to screw on perfectly, leading to minor leaks if not careful. For the price, I wish it had a few more smart features or better insulation for extreme cold.
