    This clock fixed my sleep schedule

    For the longest time I’ve never been able to wake up to alarms. Ive always had to sleep early and take up early before my time to get up because I sleep through my alarms and they become background music in my dream. That was until I bought alarmo. Alarmo works differently from other alarm clocks and uses sensors to only snooze once you get out of bed. It’s genuinely so nice to be able to sleep whenever I like and wake up at the time I set and it’s a plus that it’s themed entirely around Nintendo. The themes will wake you up with multiple different ones you can choose from and displays little characters that make jingles every hour of the day like a coo coo clock. I haven’t even talked about the coolest feature yet, sleepy sounds. Sleepy sounds plays calming music from Nintendo games like Mario odyssey or breath of the wild and winds down until you eventually stop moving and fall asleep. I recommend this clock to anyone with sleep issues Nintendo fan or not!

    Excellent product Nintendo has created once again. I don’t wake up as angry as I would with my phones annoying alarm. Being able to wake up to the sounds of all the games I love and then some is just pure joy. You can even link it to your Nintendo account for even more options.

    This is a fantastic product! Built with quality and attention to detail. After connecting to the internet there is many more themes to download. I think any Nintendo fan will find something to love with this alarm clock!

    Expensive Gimmick

    This product is a joke. I love Nintendo, and was excited when I first saw this, but after using it I will say that it is a complete joke and a waste of money. First the set up is a pain. The alarm clock has a gimmick where it watches your body while you sleep. I don't know how well this works because I don't care about it, I just want a fun alarm. But you have to go through a laborious setup moving around your room while it tries to read your body language. Second, as an alarm clock it's not great. You only have the option to set 1 alarm and that's it. The screen is really dim so its hard to actually see the time. The sound is super quiet so it fails on that front too. If it was only 50.00 I would keep it just for cute factor, but for 100.00 there is no way.

    Sleepy Kid kind of like waking up now

    6 year old boy that is obsessed with Mario things has loved this Alarm Clock. It can get really loud and he has figured out how to do lots of things with it. Every hour it will make the mario Coin sound the number of hours it is (if 8 o'clock it will chime 8 times). But it has quiet hours and lots of different features. It has a few different modes including one that will keep the alarm going and it somehow has a sensor on it that will not stop until he's actually out of the bed. He loves it so much. He is still trying to figure out some of the settings but I think it has been a positive to our mornings. The price was probably way more than I wanted to pay but the thing does seem pretty durable and will make it many years. I did connect it to my Nintendo account and was able to download an update and more wake up songs. So far it has made our mornings way better because he sets it earlier than he probably should but he's almost become a happy morning kid. I think he's starting to understand time now and how that works.

    Ok ok I get it. Its $100 for an alarm clock. Do you need it to wake up? No. Is it really cool and makes mornings more interesting? Yes it does. Lots of different sounds to wake up to and fall asleep to. It really is a cool gadget to have. The motion stuff really works when waking up by the way. I dont regret the purchase. It would have gotten 5 stars if it was at the $50-$75 mark.

    I wish the clock numbers were more visible especially in the dark I can't see it during light daytime. It's not the best controls when setting up. Love the music while you sleep. It doesn't have options for duration of music at nighttime.

    I enjoy the product for what it is. It's an alarm clock that plays notable music from the Nintendo mainline franchises. It is limited to the amount of title and the amount of songs per title, but the ones that are provided are the ones you'd expect to be there. With that being said, the sensors on the alarm are a bit tough to understand exactly what it is tracking when it's doing certain actions. I have the alarm on an elevated position approximately 2 inches higher than my bed on the left side. It is in a canted position to encompass my entire body when I am lying down. I have it callibrated in that position according to the "sensor setup", however; it doesn't detect me getting out of bed to stop the alarm and play the fan fair a majority of the time. I dont know what it is registering/detecting. Regardless, that seems to be a one-off situation. It's still a great and adorable product. Would recommend.

    Alarmo- Nintendo Clock

    The alarm clock itself is really neat, the idea is on point. The reason for the 4 star is the display brightness- when you turn on the light in the room it dims so much that you can hardly see what is on the screen. There needs to be an option so that you can turn off the auto dimmer. I also wished that the timer for the sleep noises was unlimited.

    Excellent product and cool alarm clock. Pricey but has lots of cool features and still receives new alarms and updates regularly. Has things like sleep sounds and hourly chimes which is really neat if that’s your thing. Could use a little more customization features and more alarms and themes for each game title. Still an excellent product, the alarmo will be the only Nintendo product I will have purchased for the foreseeable future.

    This was a major deal for my son who is Disabled with Autism. He is a HUGE Mario fan and it revolves around his life in such a great way and this was the EXACT Perfect item for his room. He gets excited, learns and loves to watch and hear this amazing clock. They nailed it for kids like him! I am also so happy as a parent to give him such an amazing part of his life enjoying and learning time this way. Thank you

    Bought this for my kids to wake up to in the morning. Before, waking them up for school was a challenge, but they've been excited to wake up with this alarm clock. It's been a couple months now, and although they're not *as* excited as when they first got it, they still are significantly easier to wake up in the mornings, and they do still look forward to seeing the characters. I especially like how I can customize the alarms for different days, and its intensity. It would be nice if it could do something pokemon related, but for now the Mario characters still keep them interested.

    My 8 yr old son wanted this because he loves Mario bros and pikmin. He also wanted to be more independent and get up on his own in the mornings for school. You can pre set your alarm for the week. It tracks your sleep at night and you can set it with sleepy sounds before you dose off. It is an alarm clock at the end of the day. It’s not wireless.

    It's nice when you are around a decently lit environment. But the sensor for this clock is weird. The darker it gets in the room, the darker the screen gets! There's a brightness setting but it's not a static setting. You can crank the brightness to the max but the second it gets darker in your room, the clock screen gets darker. There still hasn't been a firmware update to fix this. Overall, it's a nice clock, it's the dim screen that is the only con for me.

    My son is 7 and he loves this thing! It’s super fun to wake up to the alarms, it’s engaging for kids, and it’s such recognizable game IP that even as a parent I find it charming. Durable too, it’s fallen off his nightstand a few times onto hard wood floor and no visible damage haha. Overall, just a fun little piece of kit. Love the sleepy sounds

    Great gift for uoung Nintendo fans. Easy to operate and set up. It initially seems pricey, but considering it will last a kid a long time, it's worth it. Keep in mind, the sensor is meant for individuals, not pairs. And dont forget to link your Nintendo account for more alarms to download.

    If youre a Nintendo fan and have issues staying awake in the morning, this is perfect. I love that it continues to barrage you with awesome sounds from whichever game you choose until Alarmo no longer senses you.
