What Our Editors Say About the Smart Alarm Clock

As for the mommies out there, take it from one of our own who’s a mother of two adorable little ones.

Megan Gray, E! Commerce Editor:

“Living in a small NYC apartment with a ton of noise, I knew that I needed a sound machine and night light when my baby was born. A fellow mom raved about the Hatch Rest so I immediately added it to my registry. Now that my son is 5 years old, and I have a 2-year-old in the mix, we use that same Hatch every night (and it’s evolved with the needs of my family). For my older son, he loves picking out the lights and the sounds. There are so many color options and I like the variety of nature sounds. For my younger son, the time-to-rise alarm is a key feature. I can set the colors to change when it’s time to get up, which means he can’t get out of bed until then (although he tries). Everything is easy to set up on the app and my sons won’t go to sleep without it.”

The Hatch is so popular and beloved by our team, it even has the attention of a curious E! editor who doesn’t own one (but is thinking about it).

Alexa Vazquez, E! Commerce Editor:

“I don’t own one but when I stayed at my sister’s house, I was pleasantly surprised and thoroughly impressed by how easy it made it to wake up. I always thought it was a gimmick and that it was essentially an overpriced/glorified alarm clock, but after experiencing it, I totally understand why someone would want this, especially if you struggle to get out of bed in the morning. I also think it makes a great luxury gift.”
