It sure looks funny, I like the design, aso... but why would we need a watch to apply sunscreen... weird Bright idea :D

I already own A Tokyflash watch and I asume it won´t be much better. Just don´t think such a solardependend feature will really be helpfull that much. And with LED I mean of the watches.

You can´t even read the time of the watch when its simply bright outside. Funny idea but LED is pointless in sunlight. You can´t even read the time of the watch when its simply bright outside.

I'd stay under the shadow most of time during outdoor works and my boss would be asking me why you hide under the shadow? be serious.... and I'd answer.....ghrrrrrr...... the sun is killing me ~ and the watch beeps.

It's better to put on a high protection in the first place - which is something, the watch could advise you. Oh yes skin type, very wise! That would be strangely cool, if you walk to the shop and your watch warns you "level 15, get covered, level 15, get covered" and you start running to the shop :D Maybe more costs with that blutooth, but it would be consequent and modern actually (since we are all wired with information each time).

It's just that the warnings for 14, 15, etc. are the same as for 11. Here's a forecast for the U.S., showing large regions over 11: http://www.epa.gov/sunwise/uvindex.html. 6) Maybe this would add too much cost, but add Bluetooth so the watch can pair with a phone and automatically download UV forecasts each day. So, before going out for the day, you'll get a warning that it's likely to be UV 12 and you might want to change your clothes to cover up more.

Maybe it's good to let the watch make statements like: This level is ok for the skin for 30 minutes (needs skin specifications from doctor though). And something like "better wear sun glases now." I see high potential here, if the watch is more like a friendly assistant an not just a thing with numbers :D Oh I forgot.

Very useful. This is something we encounter each day but we aren't really aware of (besides "oh it's so hot here") I like the geometry and the touch screen. It would e cool, if the UV level also gets evaluated by something else than a number and a scale. Maybe words (ok, average, omg get outa here) or backlight colors (green, yellow, red) Definitely 5*/y! Cool idea! Very useful.
