Hatch Restore 3 | Sunrise Alarm Clock, Smart Light, Sleep Audio (Putty) | White Noise Machine & Sunrise Alarm Light, 80+ Sleep Sounds, Screen-Free Bedtime Routine with Meditations via Hatch Sleep App

Did not like the fact that you need an app, and adding a subscription within the app is just not reasonable whatsoever. I have found an old sound machine off ebay that does the job for me better than whatever this is. If you want a funky alarm clock sure, but I thought since it was so new the technology on this thing would stand out, and it didn't. Id rather fall asleep to the other machine I just purchased. There is stuff on the app that helps you fall asleep/study, but it just doesn't feel right when they're asking for more of your money.

The older hatch was 1000 times better. They made this one look esthetic but the features are a 0 out of 10. First issue is you only get three sound’s without a subscription (rain, harder rain, and ocean). The old free sounds from the previous model are not an option, and they had several free sounds to choose from. They already had access to the sounds they are just giving you less to take more from you in a subscription. Second, in the previous model you could have a light and sound turn on, and set the light to turn off after a certain amount of time, as a preset option by touching the top. This allowed you to turn on the dim light and sound to relax for 30 minutes while you get into bed and go slowly into a dark room with sound all night. Alternatively you could also have it turn the light on at a preset time while the sounds were still going from your evening setting. The new machine is either on or off. You can play the sound all night but if you want the light on with the sound you have to go in and manually turn the light on after the sound and then go turn it back off when ready for bed which is just not as relaxing. Who wants a last minute blue light hitting your face to turn off the light. I sent a message to them asking if I was missing a setting and they said the feature was removed. Over all this is junk compared to their old models I would not recommend.

Overall, I would not recommend. The product is good when it works but has enough flaws and drawbacks for the price point to not be justified. Firstly, the sounds and offerings are extremely limited unless you get Hatch+, which isn’t a huge monthly fee but shouldn’t be necessary after spending $170 on this. Second, the app is buggy. Interface is simple and useful but overall user experience is imperfect. It is very easy to accidentally change your alarm time from AM to PM, lags are frequent, etc. Lastly, my Hatch now won’t connect to my phone rendering it largely useless. The frustration I now have to go through to troubleshoot and connect again (which has not been successful so far) is maddening considering the price I paid for this device.

The light part of the machine and sound is awesome, however, the company Hatch blocks everything except the color sounds after the trial period and to add insult they make it very difficult to remove the trial residue. There are zero free unwind routines and offer samples which will expire and the Hatch company will go after you again hounding you for the membership. The worst is the sleep unwinds SUK! On some of unwinds the person's accents are so heavy you can't understand what the hell they are saying. The stories are simple and IMO stupid. I did like the stretch exercises. The soft music is generic and IMO it's someone just hitting a few keys on the piano, maybe the custodian. Too much $ for this kind of value without membership. You are best served with a machine that has color sounds. Hatch is deceptive in their advertisement of their product not telling you that you get very little without the membership. I would pay the membership if I thought it was worth the $50 a year. It is NOT!

The alarm itself is fine, nothing special. The light actually glitches when it’s charging colors, which is disappointing for a $150+ alarm clock. HERE is the problem. My husband bought me this wonderful, overpriced alarm clock for Christmas because of the sunrise feature. I was so excited. I download the app, set it up— and then lo and behold, “welcome to hatch! where you actually have to pay monthly to use your $150 alarm clock”. I’m sorry? Pay? Did you also want a kidney for collateral, or can I keep that? Last time I checked I did PAY. So, my question for Hatch… if I have to pay monthly to utilize almost ANY feature of this Temu quality alarm clock, why did I pay $150 for it to begin with? You just turned a $150 alarm clock into a $270 (for two years of use) alarm clock. At this point, I’m just gonna have to start utilizing the real sun to wake up, since apparently that’s the only gradual alarm clock that’s affordable. NOTHING worth it about this alarm clock or the subscription. Very disappointing.

You cannot even do something as trivial as setting an alarm or the time without a cloud account in their system. There's also no option to provide your own alarm sounds, you can only choose from their very limited library of sounds. This thing has all the technology necessary to be a good alarm clock but it's rendered completely useless by their horrible app experience. It's extremely over-optimized for one type of experience/user with very limited options for customization of the sleep or alarm process. Mandatory account setup and subscription required is a complete deal-breaker. Returned immediately. I don't understand why they can't just remove some of these barriers like the required account and lack of customization choices so they can sell to more users, seems like they're only interested in one very specific type of user (the kind that is very gullible and easily ripped off/too much money on their hands that they don't mind subscribing to an alarm clock service). Third party music app support would be nice and shouldn't be blocked behind a paywall (it would require no cloud/server resources from hatch) I think the designers on this product are completely delusional and they could have built an alarm clock that didn't rely on hatch servers for everything

I liked this at first because I love waking up slowly with the light, however the moment I canceled my subscription it completely stopped working. First of all I set up my alarm with a sound that it’s supposed to be included without a subscription and it won’t play it. It automatically defaulted to al basic alarm sound that I did not configure. I tried deleting the alarms and re doing it and I’m still having the same issue. The rain sleep sound which is also supposed to be included without a membership, won’t play at all, even after multiple restarts and reconfigurations. This is terrible. Not only your options are limited if you don’t pay a subscription, but the options you have won’t even work either. Customer service is non existent, their number blatantly says they won’t accept calls, and there isn’t even an email listed anywhere. I cannot believe I paid $170 to be scammed like this and forced to pay for a subscription if I want a working product. This is unacceptable!! Any off brand clock would be better than this. Save your money and don’t buy this!!

I bought this expecting a premium sunrise alarm clock. Instead, I got a $170 device that immediately asks for a subscription. The hardware itself is fine, but most of the features that make this product interesting are locked behind Hatch’s subscription. And their “free trial” isn’t even really risk free. You still have to enter your credit card just to try it for 7 days, which feels less like a trial and more like they’re hoping you forget to cancel so they can charge you later. Also, why does an alarm clock need to be this complicated? Everything has to go through the app. Want to change a setting? Open the app. Want to adjust routines? Open the app. For something that’s supposed to make mornings easier, it feels like a lot of unnecessary friction. At the end of the day, it’s basically a fancy lamp and a basic alarm clock unless you keep paying them every month. For the price they’re charging, that’s pretty ridiculous. I returned it.

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.

Absolutely LOVE my hatch alarm. I don’t regret it one bit! My only con is that the app lags.

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

Amazing product

Love this ! Both my daughters have one
