You could draw a mark on the water bottle and see if the level goes down? He may just be drinking when you're not watching.

I have heard that some hamsters can have trouble drinking from those bottles, no personal experience of it though so can't be sure, hamsters so often drink when we're not around it's hard to tell, could you try putting a small bowl of water in for a while to see if he's drinking from that.

As long as he is not dehydrated (there are several videos on youtube on how to test for it) he is most likely drinking. You could also give him cucumber to eat, just to be safe.
