“The Hatch Restore 3 makes tiny adjustments to become one of the best smart alarms on the market.”

Pros

Easy to control

Heaps of customization options

Streamlines sleep and sunrise routines

Cons

Expensive

Paid membership feels necessary

Like a fine wine, the Hatch Restore lineup has grown better with time. What started as a great idea with the original Hatch Restore became something more functional with the Hatch Restore 2 — and now, with the Hatch Restore 3, it’s one of the best smart alarm clocks money can buy. The Hatch Restore 3 makes subtle changes to its predecessor’s design, offering a new button that also functions as a dial, making it easier to control the action than ever before.

However, the biggest problem from the Hatch Restore 2 returns for the Hatch Restore 3 — a hefty price tag. Many of its best features are also locked behind a monthly subscription, which can quickly add up if you plan on keeping it on your nightstand for several years. But if you’re seeking a smart alarm clock with the best features, a striking design, and plenty of customization options, the Hatch Restore 3 is hard to beat. With the ability to help you unwind at night then wake up refreshed in the morning, it’s a better bedside companion than your smartphone — which can be disruptive and significantly impact your sleep schedule.
