UV-Tracker und App

As someone who regularly uses fitness trackers, smart rings, and other health-focused technology, I’m always looking for tools that offer actionable insights and promote better habits. I wanted a way to track my daily sun exposure, not just for vitamin D, but also to build more awareness around my outdoor time.

While I considered getting an Apple Watch for this purpose, I didn’t want to add another bulky device to my wrist since I already rely on a Garmin smartwatch for my fitness tracking. After researching alternatives, I came across the Sun-a-wear UV sensor, and I’m glad I gave it a try.

This device goes beyond what most wearables offer. One of its standout features is personalized recommendations based on your skin tone, a major plus that even the Apple Watch doesn’t currently provide. It has helped me realize how little sun exposure I get most days, and I now make a conscious effort to spend time outside every morning. The real-time UV alerts and reminders to apply sunscreen or seek shade are also extremely helpful, although I haven't yet reached those thresholds myself.

Initially, I wore the sensor on my shirt collar and hat, but the company generously included a free wristband with my purchase. I now wear it on my non-dominant wrist during the daytime. Impressively, the sensor can distinguish between being indoors, outdoors, and even in the shade, adding another level of accuracy to its readings.

The only feature I’d love to see added is the ability to sync UV exposure data with Apple Health, specifically total time in sunlight and UV exposure scores. For now, I log that information manually, which is manageable but would be much more convenient with native app integration.

I also reached out to the support team with a feature request and found them responsive and helpful, which adds to my confidence in the product and the company behind it.

Keep up the great work, Sun-a-wear team! I’m excited to see what new features and integrations you bring to the app. There's so much potential here especially for health tech enthusiasts and biohackers like myself.

It's such a relief with Sun-A-Wear's mobile UV tracker! I feel a sense of safety knowing I can be prepared going out into the sun as a Stage IV melanoma survivor.

I routinely underestimate UV impact on my skin. With this small device I can precisely see how much UV I receive

I just received my sun-a-wear yesterday and I’m OBSESSED. Not only did it ship insanely fast, it connected easily to the app and really works. I just ordered the bracelet too, after I realized how much it had to offer. Im an aesthetician in Arizona and being protected from the sun is huge priority. This device makes it easy and gives me reassurance. Im telling everyone I know about you guys! Thank you for creating a great product!! 👏

I highly recommend the sun-a-wear device. Its real-time UV monitoring and personalized protection tips make it an invaluable tool for preventing skin cancer and premature aging. I encourage friends, family, and patients to incorporate it into their daily routines.
