We already covered a great amount of alarm clocks with the most special ones being the Grenade and the Flying alarms, these two really make you get out of bed in order to turn the alarm off so you can start the 10 minute siesta before bath/breakfast. Another honorable mention goes to the Rev-Olution alarm that fits the car fanatics style and I’m sure they love it.

But… enough talking about other alarm clocks, so lets start today’s subject – the Verilux Rise & Shine Natural Alarm Clock.

As you can see on the image this is a 2-in-1 gadget that combines a stylish bedside lamp + alarm clock (it can be considered a 3-in-1 gadget since you can listen to radio as well.), this means that you will probably save space on your bedside table, and money too. Read the rest of this entry »

It seems that as more and more people are affluent enough to purchase cellphones, they tend to shun picking up a watch as the cellphone already comes with a built-in clock that tells the time equally well. The only drawback would be the hassle of dragging the handset out of the pocket each time you want to see how many minutes are there left before you head home from work after a stressful day. Hence, the once-faithful watch has been relegated to the position of a fashionable timepiece for most, and a collectors’ item for a selected, privileged few.

We’re sure that faithful readers of Coolest Gadgets have seen their fair share of wacky alarm clocks, but has anyone actually seen something as interesting as this? The aptly named Crazy Blender Alarm Clock is unlike any of its slumber-killing ancestors, rousing you from your dreams of being in the Bahamas, sipping on a Pina Colada while lounging in your dream yacht in the most unruly and uncivilized manner possible.

For some people, space is a premium, or maybe they just hate to clutter up their houses with different gadgets for everything they own.

This has to be one of the cooler gadgets I’ve come across simply because it’s just a neat (and almost useless) concept. The Mini Projection Clock is a tiny clock which can project the current time and date onto a flat surface such as a wall or table.

I don’t know too many people who would find it very practical to shine the time on the nearest wall whenever they want to find out what time it is, however it would look so cool and high-tech if you suddenly whipped it out of your pocket and shone the time onto a wall! It even comes with a keyring attachment so you don’t have to carry around a separate gadget.

It’s a rather simple yet really cool gadget for anyone who finds looking at a watch is just too old fashioned. The cool thing is that it isn’t even very expensive. You can pick up one for just £3.99 from Hawkin’s Bazaar.

The Rev-Olution Alarm Clock belongs in 4 categories: noisy, stressful, original and progressive, just like the other “wake up clock”. The noisy section is part of the whole car theme, I’m talking about the sound that comes of this alarm clock which is similar to an engine that goes into high speed and than disappears, it can get a bit annoying but it’s perfect to wake up. It’s original because it really resembles a car with the rev counter and pointer, plus displaying the time where the speed is suppose to be, and to have a final car comparison there is also a headlight that lights up the time.

This is a cool educational gadget, the Bio-Clock. It’s a digital clock with infinite different power sources.

Easy to assemble; extra electrodes and instructions included.

If you want a fun way to educate the kids it’s available from Museum Tour for $14.95 (batteries not included :)), thanks to vousami from our forums for the tip.

You’ve got a problem. No matter what alarm clock you have, it will never wake you up. First of all, that’s pretty sad, I know some loud alarm clocks, but on to the solution, the Sonic Boom Sweetheart Alarm Clock.

Don’t be fooled by its cute appearance, it’s a devil. Not only does it have a extra loud pulsating audio alarm that goes up to 113 db, it is adjustable though. It also has a 12 volt bed shaker, yes, a bed shaker (supposedly there loudest one ever!). I can’t decide if that would be fun, or painful. Oh, and to put it in perspective, 110 db of sound is generated from being 1 meter away from a jackhammer.
