Cool alarm clock recommendations?

[mr99]

I have a really dated alarm clock and want something new, cool, neat. I am an Apple aficionado so maybe something that fits the theme, maybe aluminum, something Apple-esque. Under $100, maybe under $50 if possible.

My wise uses Rise (an app) for an alarm, pretty cool, not startling:

I believe we scored it free through the Starbucks app, but it's only $1.99

You have an iPhone? Use the Twinkle tone on the alarm.

That's neat but I want a physical alarm clock too.

When I travel an old-fashion wind-up alarm clock is my backup.

Well, that's not exactly what I'm seeking.

A used iPad mini or an Amazon Kindle Fire (can be had real cheap) makes a great alarm clock. Set it on an Anker Multi Angle Stand. I got a Kindle 7HDX for about $100 a couple months ago during an Amazon promotion for Prime customers. Makes a nice photo frame and alarm clock.

Some advantages include
Portable
wide selection of alarm apps -- better than any standalone alarm clock
battery backup
automatic daylight savings adjustment
network time accuracy

Just realize I wrote wise instead of wife, but she's pretty wise ... and pretty.

I hear ya, generally our wake up isn't _that_ mission_ critical, plus I've formed a pretty dependable biological clock
