This is great Http://www.treatingskincancer.com no more guessing when to put on more sun lotion.

Clever idea, however, I wouldn't wear one because I wouldn't want a tan line across my wrist.

fricking sunscreen is so expensive, it should be free, the sun is killing us, i dont have the money to keep enough sunscreen on. there is a pill too they should give to fair people especially

I think it's a great idea, but wouldn't it get uncomfortable around your wrist?
Otherwise, I love it, and am planning on buying one.

The best way to keep yourself from harmful rays, is to stay out of the sun! I am now in my 50's..used to be a big sun worshiper. I also live in the East so, add the summer months and beach trips to the equation. I am now thankful that I didn't live in California, Fl or the southern states or I would of really looked like a raisin now for as much as I loved getting tanned. I am not fair, but I do see my knees have wrinkled, my arms and hands have sun damage and one thing Idid for years at the beach was cover my face while I laid out in the sun and wore hats and visors. If I could take it all back right now - I would. It is not worth it. So, now instead of plastering suntan lotion on I am using moisurizers and bronzers.
I don't care how much sunproof you have, you are still adding ten years of aging to your skin.

Great idea! I always get burned over the summer and this would be so helpful. Also, for the people who are worried about tan lines- what's more important the health of your skin or an even tan???

I wonder if you can just put it where you are on something else instead of your wrist like around a can or water bottle. So you don't have to worry about tan lines and it still is getting the same exposure so every time you take a drink you can see it.

Heaven forbid...I'd sure rather have skin cancer than a tan line on my wrist!! Duh...does it really HAVE to be on the wrist? If not, pin it in your hair, or to your clothes!

You people who are worried about tan lines are missing the point. It has to be on your body, in and out of the water with you so you know when to re apply. Sunscreen wears off faster when swimming. Quit worring about tan lines and start worring about skin cancer, You will be more upset sporting that scar from having cancer removed, I have a lovely large scar on my shoulder, take my advice... wear the band. I'll be buying these for my kids this summer.

Uh, if you're using sunscreen correctly, you shouldn't be getting tan lines.

Great idea & cheap 2 ! if it really "works". Anyways.....better avoid the sun between 10am & 4pm. It's a "shame" that sunscreens are sooo expensive !!!

I use SPF 50 and i still fry. I am fair skinned and does not matter if I only spend 30 minutes out side with sun screen I still burn now tell me would this thing help me.?

I just try and stay out of the sun as much as possible, I don't want to be a dried up, leathery old lady ......

Tan lines can be covered or toned down w/other tan products. But cancer you cant cover up, some of you are sitting on your brain & talkn thru ur butt. If the product works great!! You mite live longer and save ur skin. Its a small price for the damages you will need to correct later. duh

I think it is a cool item to tell me when to put on suntan lotion. Who cares about the tan line, just wear it on your watch wrist. Where can I get this item??

Nearly thirty years ago I knew a woman who was, at that time in her mid-forties. She religiously played 18 holes of golf every day of the week and it was pretty obvious, used little or no sun protection. I am not exagerating when I tell you that she looked a minimum of 10 years (possibly 15 years) older than her husband. Her skin was dark tan, deeply lined, and shiny which made it look even more "leathery". Yes, I liked the "healthy" glow of a tan, too, but when I saw what is had done to her skin, I said, "never again!". I am now nearly 69 years old and have very few wrinkles and those that are there are shallow. I only wish that for those wanting a little "glow", the companies manufacturing the chemicals that give the artificial tan would be able to get rid of the "tell-tale" fragrance that is down right obnoxious.

I don't use sunscreen. I'm a tanner & I like it that way. I'm not out in the sun every single day but I love being out in it a few times a week. I don't buy what all the scientists say. Everything in this world can hurt us the idea is to get everything in moderation. If we fear everything we're told life would be one big giant bore.
