One intriguing wearable product showcased at the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas is the elegant-looking, sun-sensitive “JUNE” bracelet from Netatmo. The bracelet measures sun intensity and monitors users’ total daily sun exposure.


With the accompanying app, JUNE gives you tailor-made sun protection advice based on your lifestyle and skin type. JUNE analyses data and sends you notifications on when you need to apply SPF, wear a hat or shades.

Intriguing.
