I have a similar number actually. They’re hard to clean, especially the lid and threads where your lips end up. They’re strong but brittle, drop a full one on a hard surface and it is likely to shatter They aren’t insulated, meaning they sweat and the water gets warm. I have broken more of those stupid little straps that hold the lid on then I care to admit. These newer water bottles seem to have a lot of nice little features that nalgenes don’t . Still they are the most practical and straightforward water bottle, they are allergic to leaking and will last forever (given you dont drop full ones on rocks.)
