OK to Wake CLOCKS

Find a clock that fits your home

Choose how you want to set the clock, what your child should see or hear, and what has to keep working in a power cut. You see only the clocks whose makers say they do all of it.

Our pick · Best without an app

LittleHippo MELLA: Everything is set on its own buttons, and your child sees a sleepy face at bedtime, an optional yellow “almost time” light and green at wake-up.

The catch: In a power cut it keeps its settings, but the light and sounds stop.

Controls
How do you want to control it?

Pick the way every grown-up who puts your child to bed will set it.

Schedules
Which schedules do you need?

Every clock here has a wake-up light you set for a time. Add anything else you need.

Power
What has to keep working in a power cut or without Wi-Fi?

A power cut and a Wi-Fi drop are different. Tick only what matters to you.

Lights and sounds
What should your child see or hear?

A silent light is selected as a starting point. Change it if you want sound instead.

Does another grown-up need the app? See who can be invited and what they can change. If a maker does not say a clock has a feature, we leave that clock out when you ask for that feature. When your must-haves match one of our six situations, that pick comes first with the reason; the rest are A to Z, with clocks no longer sold at the end. How matching works.
