New feature wish: Sun burn prevention alarm

Hi Garmin team, 

I own a instinct 2 solar and I'm very happy with the watch. Especially since the last updates what fixed for me an open issue with Bluetooth. Continue like this :-)

I was wandering as the solar edition can display the solar power why this information is not used further. 

For example for an alarm when the watch detects more then x time at a certain sun power. As unprotected sun exposure can burn the skin. I'm thinking about a alarm as it's possible to activate to and deactivate for the barometer. This could be helpful as reminder (to use sun cream...) as sometimes the sun is not directly shining but still quite strong.

Wouldn't this be a cool feature for an upcoming release or also other garmin solar products?

Thanks

Br, Manuel

    To revive this. I agree.. Garmin health can help people that love the outdoors protect their skin.. A topic that doesn’t always get enough attention.

    You have UV data from the weather app, location data (elevation etc) and solar intensity data.

    Combining this into an alarm, to warn people that want to be warned. Something like; “hey don’t forget to protect your skin”. 
    perhaps include a timer. People with sensitive skin can choose to be warned within a shorter time frame compared to others. 

    Incl. a reminder in a few hours after putting sunblock. 

    For me this would be very valuable and it would be unique.
