“We’ve been using the OneClock for one week and the overall experience has been great. My wife and I love waking up to the gentle sounds instead of the harsch phone alarm.
Even though the alarm light is very tiny, it is still fairly bright and I have to cover it with some object as we enjoy complete darkness in our bedroom. Maybe a red dot instead of a light would be better suited.
Additionally, we get up at two different times. I wish there was an option to set two different alarms without having to buy two OneClocks.
That being said, I would definitely recommend this product.”
“Love the Jony Ive-like design (to a point), LOVE the wake up tones. For me, I wake up at a slightly different time almost every day. While I love the Apple-esque look of the clock and it looked fantastic on my nightstand, setting it every night was too cumbersome for me. Yes, it's "old school" but not really. I would have preferred REAL old school non-electric knobs that I could just adjust a small "third hand" to where I wanted the alarm to go off. If you have your alarm set and want it set 15 minutes earlier the next day, it's semi-infuriating. If you wake up the same time every day, look no further. This is your clock.”

“Very sleek design, all features work as expected. The original music is nice to wake up to every morning. I like how it shuffles randomly which song to play to keep things interesting and prevent yourself from learning to hate the song because you start associating it with the dread of waking up!
The nightlight is pretty useful as well, but because it's accelerometer-based, I've found it easier to simply tap the nightstand the clock sits on to activate it as opposed to tapping the top of the clock itself as per the instructions (the top of the lock still works though, but sometimes just requires the tiniest bit more "thump"). Extremely minor nitpick, not a big deal at all.
The braided black USB-C power cable is attached to the clock, and I wish it were detachable for portability/durability purposes, but it's not the end of the world (not like I'm going to travel with this clock anyway). It came knotted up in a very aesthetic manner such that additional wrapping/packaging wasn't needed – a very clever touch!
Since there's no distinction between AM/PM, it's very clearly noted in the FAQ that you can only set one alarm at a time, and that alarm can only be set within the upcoming 12 hours. Just want to explain that this isn't as bad a limitation as it may first sound: I try to aim for 8 hours of sleep every night, which means I must set my alarm at most 4 hours before going to bed (i.e. anytime between 6:15 pm-10:15 pm). Try to set it up anytime before 6:15 pm and it'll go off *at* 6:15 pm! But again, this isn't a big deal. The moment you get into bed (say 10 pm), you can just click the alarm knob to turn on the alarm. It's a good habit to get into anyway since I check that the alarm LED indicator is on before I sleep anyway (in the same way I used to check that my phone's alarm was enabled before I went to bed). Plus, given the whole analog nature of the clock, it's kind of nice to do some of these things more tactilely for once.
I only have two criticisms so far, both of which are about the knobs:
1) The volume knob to set the alarm volume creates a static-y clicky sound if you turn it too quickly. It gives radio static vibes. Of course, you'll be turning it more slowly 99% of the time anyway, but hey, this is a $300 clock! I expect *perfection*.
2) The clock time and alarm time knobs are a little too sensitive. I try to set alarms to the exact minute (e.g. 6:15). When you turn either knob just the tiniest amount, there's no response. When you turn it a bit more, the clock hands start moving almost too quickly. I ideally wanted a more continuous gradient in movement speeds, as I keep finding myself overwinding, reversing direction, then subsequently underwinding, trying to constantly hit that sweet spot at the exact minute. Sort of annoying, and while I might learn to just get better at "aiming" over time, I do run into this issue more regularly because I set different alarms for the weekends.
Again, I have to emphasize that these are extremely minor nitpicks – but I think it's warranted for such an expensive item. Overall, I'm more than satisfied with this product and I love how it has helped me become one step closer to creating a better, less digitized sleep routine.”

“The first one clock oil got off kickstarter had issues with its charger cord maintaining and receiving power. I returned it and was sent a new one that so far is working well! Thank you”
