LAS VEGAS—When a company targets a tech product exclusively at women, it could end up making a huge pink mistake. This is not the case with Netatmo's June, a new wearable designed to help ladies avoid getting too much skin-damaging sun exposure.
Announced at CES 2014, the Innovations Award-winning June is a UV sensor that looks like a costume-jewelry crystal. It comes with a leather band that makes an attractive bracelet, plus a sportier silicon band for when you're exercising. And you can also attach it to your shirt like a brooch, stick it on your headband Blair Waldorf style, or pop it on your purse strap. The jewel comes in three colors: gold, platinum (think silver) or gunmetal (gray/black).
The June app is as stylish as the black leather wrist strap.
But cute as it is, the June is seriously high-tech. When setting up the iPhone app (the app is iOS only for now, with Android support coming soon as more phones add Bluetooth LTE support), you tell it how fair your skin is, on a 1-to–7 scale, and then on a daily basis you can tell it if you're wearing sunscreen or not.
