The ‘Hatch’ is a sunrise alarm clock packed with many features to unwind, enhance sleep, and have a more refreshed morning. Some features include a smart alarm clock, sunrise and sunset simulation, and a noise machine. The functional alarm offers multiple customizable options allowing you to set your morning wake-up time seamlessly. You can adjust the volume, the sound, and lighting of your choosing, as well as how often it repeats, and you can snooze the alarm for nine minutes with an easy tap on the bottom of your Hatch. The simulation uses a gradual increase or decrease in the color of light you choose to mimic the sunrise to wake you up gently, or a sunset to help you wind-down for the night. Lastly, the noise machine allows you to pick from various sounds, such as rainfall or pink noise.
Since this alarm clock comes with a subtle and minimalist look, it would be hard to control all of its features on the alarm itself. Hatch comes with a free app you can download in the app store that allows you to use and customize all of these amenities to your sleep routine with just a click of a button. Having access to an app makes it a lot easier and accessible to use the alarm, considering your phone is something that you use and have with you regularly. The free version of the app already has everything you need on a baseline level, if that is what you are looking for. However, for $4.99/month you can upgrade to Hatch+ that comes with things like a widened sound library, more customization features, a way to sync all your Hatches throughout your home, and much more.
The Hatch can be appealing to a wide range of people and their needs. If you have trouble sleeping at night or getting up in the morning, the Hatch will allow you to build a routine to help you create your preferred sleep schedule and aid you in getting a better night’s rest and waking up feeling refreshed. If you live in an apartment that has no windows and doesn’t get much natural light in the mornings, the Hatch can mimic the natural light you are missing and give you the illusion of getting woken up slowly and gently. This can help prevent oversleeping and rude awakenings of bright fluorescent lights.
Many people speculate whether or not the Hatch alarm clock works or if it is just a glorified alarm clock with a hefty price tag. Depending on what you are looking for specifically, you should do your research and compare it to the Hatch and its unique qualities. Some users believe that all the features the Hatch has to offer can be overwhelming and unnecessary. However, others whose needs fit and are compatible with the Hatch’s intent think it is worth the price of $170. Ultimately, the reviews suggest that this product is subjective and not for everyone.
