personally, I've heard a lot more "bottle of water" than "water bottle" in the US
this "reads from left to right" really doesn't hold up
This might be getting into the weeds a little, but to me, "bottle of water" implies a single-use bottle already filled with water, while "water bottle" implies a bottle that is made to be (re)filled with water
