SEAWATCH UV Index Watch:
JDC's Seawatch is a fully functional watch,
with a UV sensor on the front. Simply wear the watch when
doing your favorite outdoor activity, and an alarm will
sound if the UV index reaches a dangerous level.
SEAWATCH UV watch
is easy to use:
The UV sensor is on the front of the watch,
just below the LCD. Expose this sensor the sun, in particular
during the peak times of UV radiation, 11:00 am to 2:00
pm. Adjust the face of the watch slightly until the highest
number is reached (the direction of the sun must be perpendicular
to the UV sensor for most accurate readings).
It will adjust the reading every ten seconds.
The bar graph at the top will show at a glance the level
of UV radiation. More bars is a higher level, also moving
into the different color bands as shown on the color graph
to the right.
The Seawatch also has several normal watch
modes, such as time, date, calendar, alarms and timers.

Why UV is Important:
The Global Solar UV Index, or UVI, is a simple
measure of the UV radiation level at the Earth's surface.
It has been designed to encourage people to protect themselves.
The values of the Index range from zero upward and the higher
the Index value, the greater the potential for damage to
the skin and eye, and the less time it takes for damage
to occur.
Everyone is exposed to ultraviolet (UV) radiation
from the sun. Small amounts of UV radiation are beneficial
to people, and play an essential role in the production
of vitamin D. However, overexposure to UV radiation is responsible
for two major public health problems: skin cancer and cataracts.
To learn more about the damaging effects of overexposure
to UV rays and how you can prevent them, please visit the
US government's EPA website.
