The Front Runner: Amazon Echo Dot

Sure, the Echo Dot may not be a dedicated alarm clock, but when specified in the Sandstone fabric, the 3rd generation Dot features a conveniently-visible LED clock display. All you have to do is simply ask Alexa to set your alarm. You can also specify what music you want to be woken up with. Let’s not forget, it only costs $50 and you get a bunch of other useful Alexa features too!

The Wildcard: Mesqool Projection Alarm Clock

Like waking up to something a little different? Well, this $27 Mesqool clock can project the time onto a wall or ceiling. It also has a large LED display, USB connectivity to charge your phone and the ability to wake you up with AM and FM radio stations. And if you’re not happy with it, there’s a 3 month refund period!

The Newcomer: Sonic Bomb

If you, or someone you know, is a heavy sleeper or hard of hearing, then perhaps the Sonic Bomb alarm clock will do the trick. Belting out a large bleep clocking in at 113dB, and a flashing LED light, the Sonic Bomb also uniquely comes with a vibrating pad that can be placed under your pillow, under your mattress or on a bedside table. This $30 clock was called “probably the strongest bed shaker” by Technobuffalo for a good reason!

The Comparable: REACHER LED Digital Alarm Clock

If you’re after simplicity, then look no further. For just $15, you get a no-nonsense alarm sound accompanied by a large, easy to read LED display. You can also change the brightness of the display, volume of the alarm and snooze by touching anywhere on top of the clock. Simple.

The Deluxe: Philips Wake-Up Light 

Praised by GoodHousekeeping for the way it “mimics a sunrise,” this $100 alarm clock from Philips may be pricey, but it’ll favour those looking to wake up to serenity. It not only helps wake you up with a soothing sunlight simulation and birds chirping, but it also helps you sleep, thanks to a dimming sunset setting. According to Philips, it’s “clinically proven to help you wake up feeling more refreshed.”

So which alarm clock should you choose? All of the choices we mentioned give clear read outs and offer the ability to wake you up on time. But if you’re bored of a simple beep or buzz, then there are plenty of creative options out there.
