Hatch reviews and discussion

This thing is honestly amazing! My daughter loves the changing colors for the lights and the stories are honestly so relaxing. You can customize your own “playlists” so that if you want to build a bedtime routine this makes it so easy.

We love our Hatch. We have purchased countless (seriously) sound machines for our kids for home and travel. This one is great, it makes a nice low rumble for white noise. I love the schedule function, but find it a bit cumbersome. I also don't really like that you can't do much without using the app. Otherwise, 90% of the time it works like a charm.

Absolutely love my restore alarm clock! Have been using it now for about a year and a half to two years. The fact that it can wake me up while not giving me a total heart attack is amazing lol I hate waking up from loud alarms and this prevents that!

The subscription is not truly optional: Without it 1) there are no colors in the amber range, only red (blue and green are not good for sleep), and 2) if you turn the alarm off, you cannot turn it back on unless you subscribe. Their AI chatbot was not helpful, the support number on the website is not operational, & email support was slow to respond, then not helpful.

Between my morning chronotype, SAD, and working EST hours in the Midwest, I find “sunrise” alarm clocks super useful. I have been using a cheaper knock off and decided to use a health and wellness budget on the Hatch Restore 3. Pros: Prettier looking aesthetically than my knock off brand Light colors (rainbow and sunrise settings) White noise for sleep Cons: The app is kinda clunky/hard to navigate for me, so choosing sounds is hard I don’t love the “routines” function in the app Fee and Subscription based app/services for “hatch plus” for certain sounds and lights. If I didn’t have a health and wellness stipend, $175 for this PLUS a subscription fee feels really pricey and I would have just kept with my “ugly” knock off.

I found this incredible alarm clock at TJ maxx a while back for the best price ever. I use it every night for meditation before bed incorporating the different sounds and lights to help ease extreme anxiety at night. It’s one of the best choices I have ever made for myself. I also set an alarm to wake me up in the mornings in the most beautiful calming way.

I absolutely adore the Hatch Restore 3. It has revolutionized my sleep and wake-up routines. The sunset feature gently encourages you to unwind before bed, while the sunrise feature helps me wake up earlier and feeling more refreshed. The only downside to this device is the subscription model. Considering its price, a non-subscription option would have made it an almost perfect purchase.

We have the Rest+ sound machine for our nursery. It's really easy to customize different settings, and we use it for our before bedtime winddown and while she sleeps. The colours are great and the perfect brightness for middle of the night feeds, and it's nice to have so much control over the volume. It's conditioned me now and I miss having it in our room now that she sleeps in her own space. Pro tip - red light is not as stimulating as white or blue!

I love this product - the app is a little annoying to use but I love the vibes and mood the various colors, music, etc do when I am winding down for the night. I absolutely HATE that it (like everything else) requires a $50 YEARLY subscription plan. I paid $200ish for this device, I should not be paying $50 a year to use the "cool" but not innovative features.. and I am not!

I love just about everything with my hatch. The rain sounds are continuous, so I don’t wake up in the middle of the night when I hear them cycle. And the baby hatch has the perfect amount of shushing so I don’t have to do it myself. The new baby hatch also has the shushing so I did in fact upgrade as the second sound machine in my daughter’s room.

In my opinion overhyped, got this in the newborn haze and was confused into getting the subscription (which we did not use). It’s fine, but the travel version is almost better. Don’t bother with the subscription!!!!

We have a Hatch sound machine in each bedroom in our house. We initially got hooked when we had our first born 6 years ago. The ease of adjusting everything from your phone is ideal and ensuring the light be red at night and green in the morning has helped our toddler know when to get out of bed. The app is easy to use but if you choose not to go that way the buttons on the machine is easy to navigate as well. ALSO the toddler lock is brilliant at 5 am!

i really enjoy my hatch restore 3. it makes getting up in the morning much easier and calmer. i think that it is a good investment if you struggle with waking up early or want to upgrade your alarm clock

While creating my baby registry I added the Hatch Rest light because I was excited for all it's features, like the glowing ambient light, sounds, time, and app. While the product is solid and we use it everyday—actually 24-7. I feel like the app is clunky and not super user-friendly, even a bit too complex. However, the light is perfect and customizable and is great for providing enough visibility to see during diaper changes, plus the clock display is super handy as my husband and I log every feed for our newborn. I've heard from other parents that a great use and feature for this light is when kids are old enough to tell colors (green and red) and they can set the clock to emit a light to let the child know when it's wake-up time and when it's still time to sleep, rest, wait for parents to come to start the day. I'm excited to use it for those reasons down the line.

I have been using my hatch alarm clock for over 2 years now. While my free subscription has expired, I still find uses for my clock multiple times a day. My saved routines saved even after the subscription ended so I enjoy my bedtime wind down routine as well as my morning alarms and news debrief. I also have a routine for studying focus lights and sounds while I work. When not in use my restore 2 practically blends into my desk setup which is nice as well. I recommend this to any friends that often use their phone for annoying alarms as well as nighttime sleep sounds.

Gentle wake-ups and the wind-down light make a big difference in my sleep. The sounds are calming, and I like being able to customize the whole routine. Worth it if you want to unplug from your phone. It wakes me up without startling me.

Hatch offers some great products for sleep and relaxation, like their sound machines and night lights. However, I find some of the items to be a bit overpriced for what they provide. The functionality is good, but there are cheaper alternatives that work similarly. Overall, decent but not a must-have.

I love my Hatch Restore 2, it reallyyyyy helps me relax and wind-down. The sound library is really amazing, there are a ton of sounds to choose from and the colour ways are very customizable. The perfect bedside tool for someone who needs and values a good night sleep!

I got a Hatch a few weeks ago and I like it but it is a bit buggy. It doesn’t always turn the light on or do the right volume so it needs to be reset. I like the soft wake up and wind down but I wish it was a bit more of a cleaner user experience.

IDK what I'd do without my Hatch alarm. Every night, it serenades me with the gentle sound of ocean waves. I wake up almost expecting to see the sea and drink coffee while looking at dolphins. Also, Hatch doesn't just wake me up; it gently coaxes me back to consciousness. I can't believe I used to have a jarring alarm that made me question my will to live; no wonder I'd wake up crabby in my teen years. I am so hooked on my Hatch that I bought the portable one for babies for myself when I travel because I can't be without it. My only wish is that Hatch would integrate with Alexa!
