Hatch Restore 2 Sunrise Alarm Clock, Sound Machine, Smart Light (Slate) ー Bedside Dream Machine, White Noise, Custom Sleep Routines, Dimmable Clock, Deep Sleep, Gentle Alarm, Wake Up Rested

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.

I love this alarm as it allow me to wake up gently and leave my phone in the other room. The feature to design your morning with a softer light and color that gradually gets brighter with music that can also adjust louder, is wonderful.

So I got myself this fancy alarm clock. It's the nicest one I've ever owned. Compared to the rectangular, button-filled, segmented-display of my previous alarm clocks, the Hatch looks positively beautiful. At a glance, it feels more like decoration than appliance. It's also really easy to set up. I typically prefer my devices to be configurable without external apps, but I'm also tired of fiddling with alarm clocks. I find that just configuring the Hatch setup in an app is preferable to the click-click-clicking on my older alarm clocks. App-based configuration also means that the Hatch only has a handful of buttons on the device. The most prominent are two, large buttons on the top that server as the "start" and "stop" functions. They're large enough to accommodate location even in my sleep-addled sleep. That design feels appropriate and well thought through. The sleep features are nice. I like to sleep with my windows open when I can, so the white noise features help when the nights are loud with random noises. I didn't previously do anything to mask background noises when I sleep, but I can see the appeal. The library of sounds helped me find something that wasn't distracting and it certainly dulled the various chirps, squeals, and sirens that happen at night. Okay, so it's pretty and combines white noise and alarm clock features in a better user experience than I'm accustomed. That's nice and deserves an appropriate review. But then it went beyond my expectation. It changed my sleep behavior! I am (was?) one of those people who was most recently using their phone as their alarm clock. I'd set two alarms because I often sleepily slapped the Snooze on the first (or cancelled it outright) and wanted some guarantee that I'd get up on time. In retrospect, this feels like an obvious dysfunction. Since I got my Hatch, I've been using it as my primary alarm clock. I still keep my phone's alarm as a backup, but I don't think I need it anymore. I find that I'm waking up *with* my primary alarm and, sometimes, even just before it. I'm turning off my second alarm before it sounds. I also feel like I'm less startled when waking. It feels gentler. Even though my phone has a slowly crescendoing alarm, I often felt like I was rousing to a klaxon. With the light and the smooth audio, I feel like I'm being coaxed awake by the Hatch. I feel like I'm going to sleep more easily and waking up more readily. While everything about it is top notch, I feel like that's my ultimate assessment of the Hatch Restore 2. It's more than a nice-looking alarm clock. It's changed how I get into and out of bed each day. If it can do that then it's five stars from me.

We were impressed with our Hatch Restore 2 straight out of the box. Literally. It seemed obvious that Hatch studied Apple’s iconic packaging in order to create an elegant but understated container for the Restore 2 — neatly nesting the unit, a fold-out user guide, and the power supply in a tan and cream slipcover case. (Bonus points to Hatch for artfully setting expectations right from the start.) The Restore 2 itself, with its minimalist arc shape (my wife said the silhouette reminded her of the Hollywood Bowl), looked classy enough to just place on our bookcase as a piece of modern sculpture. We needed to remind ourselves that we’d had another reason for buying it. As directed, we downloaded the Hatch app to set up our Restore 2. After what we’d seen in the packaging, we weren’t surprised that the app interface was clean, uncluttered, and easy to use. When we unpacked our Restore 2 box it was already nighttime, so we decided to just select one of the first “Rest” options of many that the app offered, to help us get to bed (Unwind/Sleep - “Drowsy Piano”/“Night Rain”). It was fine — and we loved that the on-unit controls and display were so thoughtfully designed. Displays (like the time read-out, rendered with small LEDs) are there when you want them, and fade away when you don’t. At desired times the fabric-covered face of the unit can project warm sunset lighting or sunrise lighting, but otherwise it just waits to be called upon. The only two buttons on the top of the enclosure, for the “Rest” routines and “Rise” routines, are easy to distinguish by touch even if you’re groping for them in the dark: “Rest” is slightly concave, “Rise” is slightly convex. And you set the Restore 2’s sound volume level and brightness levels just by tapping at different points on the fabric face covering. No extraneous knobs, switches, or sliders. Beautiful. My wife and I are of an age where getting up at least once during the night is routine. But we found that with the “Night Rain” background audio quietly playing at a barely perceptible level, each sleep cycle between any interruptions extended a full hour longer than what we’d been used to. And because we gave the Restore 2 its pilot run on a Friday night, and there was no reason to get up bright and early on Saturday, I found I comfortably slept an hour and a half beyond when I’d expected to wake. Form, function, convenience, effectiveness — our Restore 2 checked every box. We would have been content just to get something that adequately served its purpose and wasn’t hard to use. We were delighted to find that instead we’d acquired a system we truly enjoy and admire.
