There is nothing worse than waking up bleary eyed without your glasses and not being able to read the time. I sleep with my cellphone next to my bed; so nine times out of ten it is not an issue, but there are plenty of times that I misplace my cellphone and that I would absolutely kill for a clock that I can read without my glasses (even if I have to get up close to do so). The Lexon Jet Clocks look like they might do the job. They have a large readable face and display all of the vital information; though we could do without year, even if it is the year Zz.

Theo Williams has designed a mighty fine clock and we hope that it makes its way over to you in the States and over to me here in Japan before too much time has passed.

Price: About $45

I don’t much care for the name of this little digital dynamo, but I do like the features that it has been packed with. While MP3 playing alarm clocks are very much yesteryear fare, the Seven, which took out a Volvo design award, has a few tricks up its sleeve. It feeds you weather information, has a great looking display, oh and the kicker; it has an in-built motion sensor. Why do you need a motion sensor in an alarm clock? The sensor detects whether you are moving or not and will increase the volume to ensure that you wake up. There is also so mention of using it to answer calls. All-in-all, it is a very interesting take on the humble alarm clock.

Americans love lists and we love making them (even more to come next year). The video below explains why.

If William Shakespeare used PowerPoint, he could have saved a lotta time.

I am a light sleeper and I have thin walls, so I will not be investing in the Sonic Bomb alarm clock. It is loud, damn loud with a maximum decibel output of 113 db. That is not as loud as a jackhammer, but it is almost as loud as a car horn. Seriously, if you are exposed to it for over a minute and a half, you are potentially damaging your hearing. As if that was not annoying enough to get you out of bed, it also has a bed shake setting. If you are old, or have heart trouble, you might want to turn the volume down. If you have thin walls it would be a good idea too. Even the most tolerant of neighbors probably do not want more decibels than a helicopter can produce. This alarm clock easily makes the top ten most annoying alarm clocks.

Price: about $34
