Nice but could be better
I have had this alarm for a couple of weeks now, and there are many things to like about it. There are also some things to like less. In general, design clearly took primacy here; I wish they had actually had people using this before market release. Obviously, this is also an almost outrageously expensive alarm clock, so if some of the negatives would affect you greatly, it’s probably not worth it. As is, I’m keeping it.The good things: I’m not going to repeat what everyone has said already, only the ones that matter to me and that were improvements compared to my previous alarm clock.- it’s handy to have an alarm clock and a bedside lamp in one (but see also below in the “Not so good” column). Spares some space. The main light is actually pretty strong; you can definitely read by it.- I use the FM alarm. The sound comes on gradually, and is relatively good quality. It also shuts off after an hour (which of course even my 20 yr old radio clock did, but just in case you were wondering).- Both the sunset and the sunrise programs are great and very customizable. I never thought I’d use the sunset program, but I do and it does help me fall asleep faster. And, having the light on by the time your alarm goes off is just nice. (The light shuts off together with the radio, after an hour.)- I found the menu relatively user-friendly, although see below about the lack of physical buttons.- The light of the digits is good — it doesn’t shine in your eyes at night but you can still see it (you can adjust the strength or shut it off completely).The not so good:- Most importantly, it would be *great* to have a physical button for the main light. As it is, you have to press two touch buttons to get to it, which takes a while, and more importantly, you have to actually look at the screen. You don’t always want to look at the screen (or anything) when turning on your bedside lamp.- Speaking of physical buttons, I can imagine that it would also be nice to have one for the snooze button. I never use that, so can’t really comment.- My almost 10-yr old phone-charging alarm clock already had a calendar feature, i.e., you could program different weekday and weekend wakeup times. It really doesn’t seem like such a big deal, surprising that it’s missing. It’s a really useful feature. The same almost 10-yr old alarm clock also synchronized time automatically with my phone when charging, which is also useful.- Minor point: the sunset program is not *completely* gradual in terms of the sound fade-off. There are clearly audible “steps” (if you are sensitive to these kinds of things).Overall, it is clearly a nice clock, although I would say a bit too expensive considering the lack of attention to some details. It will be almost certainly an upgrade after most alarm clocks, so if that’s what you need, I’d go for it.

La app no está disponible en Mexico! No se puede usar la lámpara NO ES FUNCIONAL

I have to be honest I’ve never really tried any other versions of this type of clock/alarm but I decided to buy this one because I liked how you can customize the sunset colors and I liked the shape of it. I was a bit surprised at how expensive it is but honestly I’m really impressed! I have always struggled with alarm clocks and have never found that they work for me. From the very first time i used this alarm clock it woke me up so easily and I found myself waking up a few minutes before it would go off which is unheard for me. I love the nature sounds and also how you can have a traditional buzzer style alarm go off too just in case you are worried about getting up for something really important as a backup which is a great feature. The brightness goes high enough to use it as a night light if you want as well. I highly recommend this clock! The only downfall is the speaker isn’t that great but it’s not the reason you would buy this type of clock anyways but something to keep in mind. Oh and it was really simple to set up too!
