    When I saw this post I assumed it was a parody

    Really? A $100 alarm clock with WiFi that requires a Nintendo account subscription? It’s going to be sold out tomorrow.

      The main gimmick is that it has tracking features builtin and will stop alarming when you go out of bed, without interaction. I tracks you in bed. To me this sounds alarming, because it collects data, so you can analyze your sleep, and has connection to the internet. Absolutely nogo.

      I can just hit the button manually on my phone and its done. And I can already use any song I want.

        Nintendo also recently did the Pokenon sleep app which was about tracking your sleep and a bunch of wearables have been shouting they intend to get better about it too…

        I don’t know if I want to know why suddenly data on People’s sleep patterns is so profitable but yeah no way am I inviting data tracking and biometric harvesting into my bed with me.
