Does a $250 alarm clock actually make you wake up better? My verdict after a week

ZDNET reviews the $250 Dreamie smart alarm clock, praising its app-free, circular touchscreen design, intuitive gesture controls, and built-in sensors, while noting limitations like weaker light brightness, only four alarm sounds, and the lack of a light-off feature (with brightness and light-disabling updates promised). The piece compares Dreamie with Hatch and Philips, suggests it suits users who prefer a blend of sounds and light over pure sunrise brightness, and advises holding off on purchase until key updates ship.
