Hatch Restore 3 Sunrise Alarm Clock & Sound Machine, Smart Light (Cocoa)

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Addition to My Nighttime Routine I’ve been using the Hatch Restore 3 for a few weeks now, and I’m really impressed. The sunrise alarm makes waking up feel much more natural, and the white noise helps me fall asleep faster without reaching for my phone. I also love how simple and elegant it looks on my nightstand—it blends in perfectly with my bedroom. The setup was quick, and the app is easy to use. It’s definitely more expensive than a regular alarm clock, but the quality and features make it worth the investment. If you’re trying to improve your sleep habits or just want a more relaxing bedtime routine, I highly recommend it!

I've tried a lot of alarm clocks and sleep gadgets over the years, and the Hatch is the first one that's genuinely changed my mornings. Waking up to the gradual sunrise instead of a blaring alarm has made a huge difference—I feel much less groggy and way less tempted to hit snooze. The sound quality is surprisingly good, with plenty of options from white noise to rain and nature sounds. I also love how easy it is to customize routines in the app, so I can wind down at night with calming sounds and dim lighting, then wake up naturally with increasing light and gentle audio. The design is sleek and minimal, so it looks great on a nightstand without feeling like another piece of tech. Setup was quick, and it's been reliable every single day. I honestly didn't expect an alarm clock to have this much of an impact on my sleep and morning routine, but it absolutely has. It's one of those products that you don't realize you needed until you start using it. Worth every penny, and I'd recommend it to anyone looking to improve their sleep quality or make mornings a little easier.

I love my Hatch alarm clock!! It has totally changed the way that I wake up in the morning. I used to really struggle to wake up to multiple alarms on my phone, but this really does the trick. I am also excited to see if this will help me use my phone less before bed. It came in such nice packaging and is such a cute addition to my room. It was very easy to set up, and I am so excited to try out all of the different features that it comes with. I love how customizable it is, the sound is very loud, and the light is very bright as well.

I have never been a morning person and I did not think an alarm clock could make me one. It has been almost a year since I began using the Hatch Restore 3. This has completely transformed both my bedtime routine and the way I wake up in the morning. My favorite feature is its color changing abilities. I use a red light to turn on for 30-minutes as I wind down for bed at night, and wake up to a cool blue that subtly lights up my room in the morning. Instead of being abruptly awoken by loud noise, the sunrise alarm takes away at least some of the stress that comes with mornings. Also, having that unwind red light time before going to sleep has made me more aware of the time I spend on my phone doomscrolling. With that timer, I prevent scrolling on my phone for far too long and go to bed sooner rather than later getting distracted. The sound quality is also surprisingly good as it comes with many different choices for white noise and sounds to wake up to. The design and set up instructions are very intuitive accompanied by the Hatch App. I never ran into any issues or confusion while setting it up or connecting via Bluetooth regularly. The controls itself on the hatch are very intuitive and user friendly. I keep mine plugged in and don't have to worry about changing batteries or anything. Overall, it is an investment, but I think one that is absolutely worth it if you're looking to incorporate a tool to help your days go by easier and add a bit of calmness in your busy life. I highly recommend this as an investment for your personal health and well-being.

I absolutely love the Hatch Restore 3! I wasn’t sure it would be worth the investment, but after using it for a few weeks, I can honestly say it’s become part of my nightly routine. The sunset feature helps me wind down naturally, and waking up to a gradual sunrise is so much better than being jolted awake by a loud alarm. The sound quality is excellent, and there are so many relaxing sleep sounds and guided wind-down options to choose from. The app is intuitive, making it easy to customize different bedtime and morning routines. It also looks beautiful on my nightstand—minimalistic and modern without taking up much space. If you’re looking to improve your sleep habits or make waking up feel less stressful, I highly recommend the Hatch Restore 3. It’s one of those products I didn’t realize I needed until I had it!

I can only describe my hatch experience so far as ethereal. The first wake up with the hatch was amazing, it was like it was slowly lifting me out of my sleep without scarily jolting me awake and leaving me in a bad mood. The sunrise feature is amazing. There’s an alarm sound for everyone, my personal favorite is a mellow beachy song, but if you want you can wake up to a love island inspired sound. The app was super easy to figure out as well. As someone who often wakes up before the sun and has a pretty strict schedule the hatch is amazing. I will say, it works better if you consistently wake up at a certain time as you can set schedules for different days of the week. Not only is the hatch amazing to wake up with, it also helps me fall asleep. The unwind cue is extremely helpful in keeping me on schedule and I love the stories and meditative music that you can listen to before bed. You can also do a lot with the lights, I often use the bedside light feature, and I love the immersive, colorful lights that come with some of the music choices. I could literally wake up to a pink sunrise in my room if I wanted to. Anyways, I didn’t think it was going to be worth it, but it truly is amazing.

After weighing the pros and significant cons, overall I’m glad I purchased the Hatch (but just barely) as the sunrise alarm function has genuinely improved how awake I feel in the mornings, but the app you have to use to get full functionality of the device is very frustrating even for a digital native because of the loading times. I’m only glad I bought it because it was on sale, and with a gift card I got it for $90. It’s not worth the full price and definitely not the additional subscription. There are other sunrise alarm clocks out there that might work better for you. Completely aside from the fact that the app costs a whopping $5 per month subscription or $50 a year for basic functions of an alarm clock, those basic functions are frequently buggy and unimaginably slow to respond. The loading times make the app almost unusable, with loading times as long as almost 1 full minute to simply select something, and going up from there depending on the complexity of actions or how many actions you’ve taken in a row. For example, if you want to edit your routine, you can expect to wait 1-2 minutes to simply swap to the unwind routine you want to edit, and then wait another almost 2 full minutes of load time to save your edit once you’ve made it. The next routine you edit, the loading time will increase, almost as if the app gets “bogged down” by a log of actions you did previously. If you’re editing multiple routines at once, you’d better have something handy to do while you wait in between steps, because it could take you 15 minutes or more of wait time just to select a sound, change volume, select a lighting preference, all just for one step in one routine. Combine that with load times for adding another step, naming your routine, etc. and I was on my phone for 45 minutes tonight. Ironically, this makes the app a huge time-waster before bed if you want to do something simple like change the preset volume, and I find myself stuck on my phone which is what I was trying to avoid by buying this product. For context, I have an iPhone 13 Pro with plenty of space, and I don’t have this loading problem with any other app. I’ve tried closing out all other apps while using the Hatch app, all while having full bars of service and wifi, and the problem persists. You can close the app and reopen it to “reset” the loading times for an action or two, but they’ll be right back up to 2 minutes in no time. Theoretically, once you get your routines set you shouldn’t have to mess with the app, but it’s been 1 month of having the app’s free trial and I still find myself sometimes wanting to adjust the preset volume or wanting to swap out sounds for the right fit. I can’t wait to cancel at the end of my free trial so I hopefully won’t have to bother with the app again. I don’t even care if I lose some functionality like the very helpful “sunset” Cue to Unwind feature which is tied up in the subscription, I will gain time in my life back. The app is certainly pretty to look at, but that might be what’s bogging it down. Overall, I seriously thought about returning it but I’ll keep it because I got it on sale and I do like the device itself. Another sunrise alarm clock will probably do what you need it to do without the big price tag or frustration.

I’ve been using the Hatch Restore 3 for a few weeks now, and I can honestly say I’m pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoy it. What I expected to be just a simple alarm clock and sound machine has actually become a really calming and consistent part of my nightly routine. The wind-down features help me disconnect at the end of the day, and the gradual sunrise alarm makes waking up feel much more natural and definitely less jarring than my phone alarm. My only real drawback is the subscription model. Given the device is already a significant upfront investment, it would be nice if more features were included without an additional ongoing cost. That said, even with that consideration, I’ve still found it to be a worthwhile addition to my routine and something I look forward to using daily.

We’ve been using the Hatch Restore 3 for a few months now, and I can confidently say it’s made a huge difference in how I wake up each morning. There’s a bit of a learning curve at first, just because there are so many lighting and sound options to explore! It’s really customizable and easy to tailor to your own routines and preferences. Where it’s really been a lifesaver is during the winter months here in Canada. Waking up in the pitch black is brutal, but the gentle sunrise feature has made those mornings so much more bearable. It feels way more natural and less jarring than a regular alarm. Bonus: even our dog loves it! As soon as the wind-down music and soft “northern lights” colours come on at night, he trots over and settles in. Highly recommend this clock for anyone looking to improve their sleep routine—especially if you live in a place with long, dark winters.

Very disappointing. The hardware is good but the app is unusable. There is a lot of potential in this product but they will only realise it when they throw out the current app and rebuild it with ease of use and flexibility in mind. Honestly this industry is begging for a competitor to come in and show us how this can be done well. Unfortunately Hatch is not that (yet? 🤞). I'd love to return my Hatch 3 and wait for that competitor, maybe they never come but this $200 disappointment is not bringing me any joy.

Echt een hele fijne wekker, super geavanceerd omtrent licht en geluidopties. Heel mooi design en fijne app. Hele overzichtelijke knoppenfuncties.

Amazing product

Love this clock. It has made my morning wake up so much smoother, no jarring alarm. The ability to customize the length of the sunrise allows me to just look and see if it’s begun to know if I should go back to sleep. It facilitates habits of waking up at the same time. I have no complaints
