I've been using this alarm for around a year now, I can say it has significantly helped my sleep patterns, I enjoy the podcast and nightlight feature a lot! Read more

Beware! You have to use an adapter to plug in and power up in the UK. Really annoying! Given the cost of the item I’m amazed it didn’t come with the right plug or an adaptor. Sloppy. Read more

Whilst some features are locked behind a subscription (disappointing when the initial outlay is pricey), there’s enough functionality to be good without the subscription. There’s a good range of different sunrises & sunsets to choose from, the light can be used on its own as a reading light or mood lighting. The sound quality is good enough for the standard alarms. Easy to use via the app. Waking up to a light room in the dark winter days really makes a difference to how I feel. Read more

Don’t let the subscription deter you, this alarm clock is completely usable without it. The monthly subscription is mainly for more sounds and bedtime stories, plus 2 added steps to your sleep/wake routine which are ‘Unwind’ and ‘Morning Moment’. I’d suggest setting up some routines while on the free version, to get the feel of it first; then get the free trial and immediately cancel, so you don’t get charged but can try it out for a month. If you realize that you like the subscription version more than the free: the monthly price is $5 totaling to $60 a year, and the yearly subscription is $50. I can naturally wake up to the morning sun, but have to get up for work before the sun comes out so I opted for a sunrise clock due to phone alarm issues. Hatch claims this alarm is science-backed in lulling you to sleep but also waking you up gradually and peacefully. I can for sure say this was the first morning I have not woken up to a jarringly loud alarm then jumping out of bed after realizing I snoozed all 10 of my alarms. The sunrise feature is super customizable, you can have the dim clock go super bright within 5 minutes or up to an hour. There’s 12 sunrises and 13 alarm sounds to choose from without a subscription. There’s also 28 different sleep sounds for free! I chose brown noise since it’s a more gentle sound than white noise and it definitely helped me stay asleep the entire night, whereas before; I’d wake up numerous times every night then feel super tired/groggy until mid afternoon. The biggest issue for this clock is that it relies on a constant and good WiFi connection. If you live in a small town like me where if one cell tower goes down, you’re stuck without WiFi and no alarm clock. I got the Putty color option, it’s definitely a lighter tan with a hint of pink. The video I included shows the Brown Noise sleep sound and the light color Evening Sun. There are instructions that come with the clock that tell you where to touch for adjusting the volume and light, how the two Rest/Rise buttons at the top work, and how to set up the clock within the app. It took about 10 minutes for my clock to connect and register to the app, so don’t be worried if it takes awhile for you. Upon opening this alarm clock, I’d recommend placing the box upright and pulling the top of the box off, so the clock stays in the bottom of the box and doesn’t fly out (like iPhone boxes). Not only is this an aesthetic clock, but it’s also a sound machine, an alarm, and a curated sunrise. The ability to have a different alarm schedule is a huge bonus as well, especially if you have a differing morning routine depending on the day. Honestly, the price could definitely be lower, but I believe it’s just about worth it over other options. Read more

Im astounded that a device sold in the uk doesn’t come with a uk adapter!! How is it supposed to work. Surely a customer shouldn’t have to pay £185 for a clock then have to spend more money for an adapter. Read more

Let’s be real: the Hatch Restore 2 is pricey. This sunrise alarm clock costs more than my first car (granted, that car didn’t start half the time, but still). That said, waking up to a gentle sunrise simulation instead of my soul-crushing phone alarm? Worth it. Pair that with the sound machine that makes it feel like I’m falling asleep in a tranquil forest instead of my apartment next to a screaming toddler? Chef’s kiss. Sure, it’s expensive. But if you’re tired of waking up like you’re being catapulted out of bed by an air raid siren, this little gadget might just be worth skipping a few takeout orders. Plus, every morning, it softly whispers: “You spent a small fortune on me—get up!” Motivational and overpriced. Classic. Read more

The Hatch Restore 2 is an absolute game-changer for my mornings and evenings! The sunrise alarm feature is incredible—it gently wakes me up with a warm, gradual light that feels so much better than a blaring alarm. I actually feel refreshed instead of groggy. The customizable light colors and brightness levels let me tailor it perfectly to my preferences. The sound options are equally fantastic. I love falling asleep to the soothing nature sounds, and the guided meditations are a bonus that has helped me relax and wind down at night. The sleek, minimalist design fits perfectly on my nightstand and adds a modern touch to my bedroom. The app integration is seamless, making it easy to set schedules and personalize my experience. It’s a little pricey, but considering how much it has improved my sleep and mornings, it’s worth every penny. Pros: - Gentle sunrise alarm for a natural wake-up - Soothing sounds and guided meditations for better sleep - Sleek, modern design - Easy-to-use app integration - Highly customizable settings Cons: - Premium price point, but justified by the features If you’re looking to transform your sleep and wake-up routine, the Hatch Restore 2 is a must-have. Highly recommend! Read more
