take a lot to burn your skin if youre out in the sun, and even just a few minutes of exposure can do damage if youre not properly protected. Instead of guessing the best course of action, a new wearable device from The90 could help you know exactly what to do.

Dubbed the Gem , the product rather grandly describes itself as The first personal sun intelligence system that helps you protect your skin's future in real time. Despite that, it looks like a simple pendant at first glance. Worn around your neck, it could easily be mistaken for a piece of jewelry to the untrained eye. But theres a lot more to it than that. The main pendant is actually an ultraviolet (UV) light sensor that can measure the levels of both UVA (ageing) and UVB (burning) that youre subject to. It combines this with your personalized skin profile, which covers your skin type, current
clothing, and whether youve already applied sunscreen. Latest Videos From Watch full video here:

Once the device has all of that, it can give you advice on when its time to apply more sunscreen, cover up with extra clothes, or get under shade and out of the sun entirely. It does this through the companys companion app , which is available for free. Actionable insights (Image credit: The90) Plenty of weather apps provide data on UV rays in your local area, but the issue is theyre always going to be relatively inaccurate since they cover broad areas. A device like the Gem, on the other hand, can measure UV levels in your
direct vicinity, giving you potentially more accurate information. You may like Pebblebee launches Halo personal safety tracker with siren and strobe light 'Self-powering' fabrics could be next the evolution of wearables Brilliantly reviewed beauty gadgets for photo-ready skin for wedding season

And because it takes variable factors into account such as your clothing and skin type it might be able to give you more valuable and actionable insights than something that just gives out blanket advice.

Still, it has a couple of limitations. It only comes in one style, for one thing, and that might not appeal to everyone. When you have a device that doubles up as both a health tracker and a wearable necklace, it could be a risk to only offer one appearance. Get daily insight, inspiration and deals

As well as that, the Gem is priced at $299, which makes it a fairly expensive
and therefore fairly niche device. Thats perhaps reflected by its positioning as a piece of high-tech jewelry rather than a simple UV tracker. Still, it could price more people out than a simpler product would.

Despite all that, though, the Gem has promise. Founded by a Fitbit / Google veteran and with plenty of interesting ideas, it could certainly be one to watch. Follow TechRadar on Google News and add us as a preferred source to
