Raymio

On September 1, 2015, a new UV monitoring band will be launching on Kickstarter. and it promises to do more than what others in the market currently offer. Called the Raymio, the device is designed in a way that the UV sensor is exposed and reflects the imagery of the sun so as to let the user easily see its various phases each day and offer a focal point for the wearer to monitor. The hardware module can be removed and swapped for another band, and Raymio promises more color themes as the product continues to evolve.

The Raymio is able to track personal UV exposure, UV A/B levels, global UV index, 3D sun protection, directly communicates with the accompanying mobile app, is detachable and can be clipped on clothes if the wearer doesn’t wish to wear it on their wrist. As for the mobile app, it gives the wearer advice on sun protection, provides statistics, forecasts personal UV exposure, gives a weekly statistics resume, provides photo upload with UV temp overlay and is available for both iOS and Android devices.

Raymio aims to sell 1,000 units to be successfully funded on Kickstarter. Early investors can avail of the device when it launches on the crowdfunding site for only $45. Expect to have the device by spring 2016.
