Ok… But what separates this from my phone?… My phone can play music i give it and gets louder over time, it can play sleep sounds too. Is the feature if the sensor really worth 100?
Naaaaaaaah, dont buy things for a gimmick when you will just place it in a shelf within a year of purchase

Fans we want a Mini N64
Nintendo here’s a alarm clock with a camera that needs to be connected to the Internet 24/7 but don’t worry it’s not spying on you we promise.
Fans shut up and take my money.

Okay, I wanted one, but I don’t live in the US. So if it’s 100 USD there, it’ll be at least 150 USD where I am. If not more. So that’s a bummer. And a very expensive alarm clock.
