Spindle Ball Alarms
Spindle Ball Alarms!

this is slightly interesting to me as it is very new on the market, but
thoughts
- a little pointless? if you can adjust the time that easily people would be late everytime by just flicking the thing over and over again so that they can drag their waking up time to a later time – making them late
- buttons to change several features of the clock to close to one another. i can easily mistake ‘changing the time back and forth’ with ‘editing the clock’s timing’.
- also, i find that when most people wake up to a very blur stage of themselves which they cannot easily process anything given to them immediately (i am a good example). this alarm clock may be confusing to them when they want to just turn off the irritating alarm clock and just stone on their beds in peace before washing up.
suggestions
-keep the on/off alarm switch on the blue body of the clock. for easier referencing
- have a stand for the clock to rest on, people may just drop the clock when attempting to off the alarm in the dark when they just wake up.
but in all i find this clock quite interesting and quirky!
