The 5 Best Alarm Clocks of 2026
"Emerson is still making them the way we grew up on, with a big snooze button that can take abuse morning after morning. If you hate your Oura ring and are tired of sleep scores as a topic of conversation, this is the radio alarm to get. It's a pretty straightforward alarm clock with some quality of life improvements from the '90s."
"Another remarkably simple option, the Wideboy analog alarm clock is a more chic alternative. We love the utilitarian approach here. Just a big chunky rectangle with a retro-inspired analog clock face. You can set the alarm to a time and it will go off. That's it, no different alarm options or sounds or settings to fuck with. It's really quite foolproof and it does its job as both an alarm clock and a piece of decor."
"We've written about the Loftie alarm clock a ton and there's good reason for that. It's like a full replacement for your smartphone's alarm clock without the pesky screen that keeps you awake and scrolling. Actually, it does more. In addition to being a fully programable alarm clock with unique sound options, it can be a white noise sound machine and a nightlight."
Emerson's radio alarm emphasizes simplicity and durability with a large snooze button, four LED brightness levels, and options to wake to a buzzer, tunes, or AM radio. It lacks a slow-wake feature and avoids sleep-score tracking. The Wideboy analog alarm clock delivers a chic, mid-century look with a utilitarian, chunky rectangular body and retro-inspired face; it offers only a single alarm setting and requires batteries. The Loftie alarm clock provides a two-stage gentle wake, optional nightlight, Bluetooth speaker functionality, programmable unique sound options, white-noise machine capability, and aims to replace smartphone alarms; some features require a subscription.
