Ranked #2 in Best Sunrise Alarm Clocks

Hatch Restore 3

4.0

1 source$169.99as of Oct 20

Reviewers rate the Hatch Restore 3 at the top for building a bedtime ritual, helped by a well-polished app and a sunrise function that works. They also like the industrial design and the intuitive physical controls. Two catches: the sunrise light isn't as bright as competitors', and the full routine features sit behind a subscription. It's for people who want a smart alarm clock with sleep routines built in, not just a light that comes on in the morning.

Strengths

— App-based routine builder is well-designed and easy to use
— Sunrise light effect is powerful enough to be effective
— Physical controls are responsive and intuitive

Watch-outs

— Sunrise light is dim compared to other options
— Subscription fee required for full routine features

Ranked #4 in Best Sunrise Alarm Clocks

Lumie Bodyclock Glow 150

4.0

1 source$139as of Oct 20

The Lumie Bodyclock Glow 150 is easy to operate and gives you more sunrise options than the Rise 100, anywhere from 20 to 45 minutes. Reviewers found it simple and liked the nature sounds, but noted you have to re-enable the alarm every day and brightness adjusts only in five coarse steps. It avoids the flicker problems that affect the Shine 300, and it skips the Bluetooth streaming the Luxe 700FM offers. It suits people who want straightforward operation rather than advanced features.

Strengths

— Simple to use with intuitive navigation
— Offers more sunrise customization (20-45 minutes) compared to fixed 30-minute rise time
— Includes nature sounds alarm option

Watch-outs

— Requires manual re-enabling of alarm daily
— Does not support Bluetooth streaming

How they stack up

Hatch Restore 3

The Hatch Restore 3 is built around an app-based routine builder, with full routine features behind a subscription fee. Its sunrise light is dim compared to other options, where the Lumie Bodyclock Shine 300 is the brightest of the Lumie Bodyclock models. Its controls are a knob and two buttons against the Shine 300's 11 buttons, and it costs more than the Philips SmartSleep Wake-Up Light HF3520.

Lumie Bodyclock Glow 150

The Lumie Bodyclock Glow 150 is simpler to operate than the Philips SmartSleep Wake-Up Light HF3520, whose menus and small buttons are awkward, and its sunrise runs 20 to 45 minutes against the Philips's 20 to 40. It avoids the flicker of the Lumie Bodyclock Shine 300, which is the brighter of the two Lumie models, and it costs less than the Shine 300.
