It’s no secret that trendy water bottles sell out fast. We all know how the latest Stanley tumbler available at Target leads people to line up outside the door before opening. And the latest Owala release is no exception. Earlier today, the water bottle brand dropped its limited Fairways for Days FreeSip. And in about 10 minutes, the Owala went from for sale to backordered. If you were not one of the lucky few who got their hands one, here’s where to buy the Fairways for Days Owala.
What is the Owala Fairways for Days bottle?
In case you haven’t heard, the Fairways for Days bottle is a 30-ounce FreeSip Sway perfect for a day on the course. The name of the bottle comes from the term “fairway,” which refers to the area between the tee and the putting green on a golf course. The bottle comes with the classic Owala 2-in-1 spout, allowing you to both sip like a straw or take bigger chugs out of a larger opening if you so choose. It also has a wide bucket handle that makes the bottle easy to carry and transport no matter where you’re going.
Unique from other Owala bottles, this bottle design is completely white and features a golf ball like texture to make you feel like one of the pros. Even if you’re not a golf fan, the design is subtle enough to be the perfect gift for any water bottle lover. If you’re scouting out Father’s Day gifts early, this bottle can be added to your list (it’s sure at the top of mine).
Where can I buy the Fairways for Days bottle?
This water bottle was popular. So popular, that it sold out in less than 10 minutes. After going live at 12 p.m. EST, the ‘buy now’ button switched to ‘backorder.’ So while you can still get the Owala direct from the brand, you will be waiting 10 to 12 weeks for it to ship to you, according to the website.
Don’t have that kind of patience? Luckily, the some of the folks who were able to get their hands on the Fairways for Days water bottle have already listed it on resale sites like eBay. But you won’t be paying the $40 Owala sold it for. Most of the ones for sale on eBay start at $80 to $100 but go as high as $190.
Keep in mind, these listings are going fast. At the time of publication of this article, several of the cheaper Owalas have already sold and new listings have been added. Be aware of scammers as well who might not have actually be selling the Owala. Try to buy from well-reviewed sellers and ones who have some proof they actually got their hands on the Fairways for Days bottle.
And for next time, remember to hit that ‘notify me’ button Owala has on all of their limited time drops so you don’t find yourself scouring eBay.
