Nintendo has unveiled their latest product: Alarmo, a sleep-tracking alarm clock.
The clock uses a motion and brightness sensor to monitor users sleep habits and provide feedback and adjust the intensity of its alarms. The clock is designed to detect the movement of its user and react without needing to press any buttons.
Wake up! Nintendo Sound Clock: #Alarmo is available for early access for Nintendo Switch Online members in the US and Canada!
This interactive alarm clock lets you set a time and select from 35 scenes from across 5 Nintendo titles. More titles to be added later! pic.twitter.com/PzwoYn1xy3

Users will be able to select from 5 different Nintendo titles which are customizable with multiple scenes and music. The launch themes are:
- Super Mario Odyssey
- Pikmin 4
- Splatoon 3
- Ring Fit Adventure
- The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
Surprisingly, Pokemon is missing from the list. You would think with Pokemon Sleep there’d be a way to tie the two together since the game also uses sleep metrics.
Currently, Nintendo Switch Online subscribers are eligible to order the clock early, but a full retail launch isn’t expected until early 2025. You can check out the full details here.
