“Orbs and spheres are softer in form so they tend to have a more soothing aesthetic than rectangular or boxy alarms,” says Los Angeles-based designer Sarah Barnard, who points out organic shapes are also “versatile and minimalist” enough to fit into various design schemes.
#Work clock daily alarm plus
This clock’s modern, rounded design is a plus too. (The only two that are about 25% brighter than this clock, the Hatch Restore and Lumie Bodyclock 300, are significantly inferior in functionality.) The HF3670 also offers eight different wake-up sounds- “Nepal bowls” and “morning Alps” were our favorites-along with an FM radio tuner, for people who want to listen to the radio in the morning. That’s at least about 15% brighter than the median of those we tested. Using a light meter, we measured the maximum as 660 lux from a one-foot distance. The HF3670’s light cycles through 25 degrees of brightness for a gradual sunrise or sunset effect during whichever time interval you set-for example, 30 minutes before you want to get up or just five minutes.
Its light is brighter than many of the others we tried, which means it’s more likely to wake you, and it is smartly designed with features some competitors are lacking-most notably, a backup alarm and a smartphone app for setting the clock and providing sleep insights. While it’s at least $40 pricier than the majority of other models we tested, the Philips SmartSleep Connected Sleep and Wake-Up Light HF3670/60 is the sunrise alarm we recommend for most people.
There are many clocks on the market that deliver on the sunrise concept to varying degrees of brightness and effectiveness, so we spoke to sleep experts and tested 12 firsthand to pinpoint the most reliable, best-looking options. Of course, the sunrise isn’t always going to align with your schedule-but a dawn-simulating alarm, which emits light that gets gradually brighter, can consistently deliver this less jarring wakeup experience. Waking up to the sun can be a more pleasant way to start the day than being jolted awake by a blaring smartphone alarm or the sound of morning shock jocks on the radio.
