We appreciated the intuitive, nostalgic feel of tapping the top of the unit to snooze.
The snooze time is also set at five minutes, which was a bit short for our preference.
The other controls are in the back of the clock, joined by a pair of standard USB-A ports.

Our tester already owned and enjoyed the original Hatch Restore model, but loved the new version even more.
(An extra subscription service adds even more audio, guided meditations, and other sleep health features.)
It jives nicely with the gadget’s shape, reminiscent of a rising (or setting) sun.

We found that the simplicity of the clock’s design makes for a painless user experience.
Tapping the top button activates a cozy white light with three brightness levels.
To remedy this, we turned the clock toward the wall.
you could set the volume and alarm time, but not much else.
The hard-to-miss snooze button on top buys you a fixed nine minutes before the alarms goes off again.
Overall, during testing, we appreciated having very few modes and functions to fuss with.
It also includes the convenience of a USB port for charging your phone or other devices nearby.
Many digital alarm clocks retain your configs past one alert, or even allow you to schedule multiple alarms.
More premium or smart alarm clocks go even further with how many features they offer.
