diem

A self-initiated exploration, Diem is equal parts wellness device and style accessory.

a notification-free reminder to get some sun (it’s good for you)

Humans have worshipped the sun since the dawn of recorded history. We didn’t know it then, but sunlight offers real health benefits: it boosts serotonin and vitamin D levels and helps regulate our circadian rhythm. Meanwhile, many of us are stuck in dark offices all day!

Diem displays day and night on an e-ink display. The single hand indicates time on a 24-hour scale. Once a day, the display adjusts sunrise and sunset based on your location. To set your location, simply press the top crown. The device finds your location with an onboard GPS, then calculates sunrise and sunset accordingly.
