In a world full of gadgets aimed at monitoring physical fitness, a new trend is emerging. While smartwatches measure various health metrics, this latest device focuses specifically on skin health and sun exposure.
The Gem, created by The90, resembles a fashionable pendant typically seen in jewelry. However, it is equipped with sensors encapsulated in a titanium casing that detect the levels of UVA and UVB radiation that your skin encounters.
Accompanying this pendant is a dedicated app that provides real-time data about your UV exposure. The app is also customizable; users can input their skin type and habits to receive tailored feedback about their sun exposure.
Users can log their sunscreen details, such as SPF ratings and the amount applied. This information feeds into the app’s algorithms, showing the duration spent in sunlight—both protected and unprotected—alongside visual graphs of UVA and UVB levels. A unique burn timer feature estimates how long you can safely stay outdoors before risk of sunburn begins.
The Gem boasts a battery life of up to a week on a single charge, requiring approximately two hours for a full recharge. Its design is compact, measuring around the size of a US nickel, and it’s also splash-proof.
Offered in gold and silver, The Gem can be purchased through The90’s site for the introductory price of $199. This promotional pricing is available for four weeks; afterward, the pendant’s price will increase to $299.
