I tried carrying a bottle of water during the Ragnar Relay a couple of years ago, and it drove me CRAZY. But the ones designed for running have a strap that goes over your hand, and so you really don't have to "hold" it at all.

I looked into getting one when I started WW but they were so expensive ($25) that I put it off and haven't done it - so I mostly measure with measuring cups.
