A device used to monitor sun exposure doesn't sound like it would be the least bit glamorous, but JUNE proves this to be totally wrong. Knowing that women who spend a lot of time trying to get tan in the sun are concerned about their appearance, the jem on the wearable band was created to resemble a precious diamond.
This decorative design disguises technology that works alongside an app to keep track of the daily exposure to sun, with and without sun protection. The app rates the UX index and also keeps track of the time spent inside versus outside. Although JUNE is a device that you could wear every day, it holds even more value for people going on vacation who are in an unfamiliar setting and out of their normal routines.
