0:00
is this the coolest alarm clock in the
0:10
out Dave Taylor here and I want to talk
0:12
about alarm clocks I want to talk about
0:14
intelligent alarm clocks not a
0:16
smartphone that just like has the alarm
0:19
go off when it's time but something a
0:21
little more sophisticated specifically
0:23
this is the Betty glow from witty
0:27
designs and I've had the previous
0:29
generation of Betty on my bedside table
0:31
for a couple years now and really like
0:33
it but this is a really nice upgrade the
0:37
design the color all of it it looks way
0:39
better but as you can see one of the
0:42
cool things about it is it has this
0:43
really cool cycling color mood light
0:46
which is really kind of fun actually
0:48
when you want to just chill out um you
0:50
can with the push of a button switch to
0:53
a nice bright white light if you just
0:55
want to have a little nightl or
0:56
something and when you're done with that
0:59
notice how it turned turns off very
1:01
typical of the design it's everything's
1:03
gradual we'll go back to the mood light
1:05
cuz just like it comes with an app and
1:07
so the app synchronizes everything and
1:09
so the apps how you set alarms and you
1:12
can change all the settings and you
1:14
launch the app and boom the time is set
1:16
which is just a huge benefit I hate
1:19
having to go and actually adjust clocks
1:22
if we lose power daylight savings time
1:24
whatever this makes that super easy it's
1:27
also a wireless speaker so let's give it
1:28
a little listen and I will say this is
1:31
not actually the most amazing speaker in
1:34
my house but it's a nice little speaker
1:36
for when you want that let's try
1:40
this I mean it's quite listenable and
1:43
and pleasant you know and probably not
1:47
what you want for your next big party
1:49
with 300 people in the room but if
1:50
you're just chilling out it's good now
1:54
one of the other things that it does
1:55
that I think is really nice is it also
1:57
has environmental sounds and and so you
2:00
can for example if you like to go to
2:03
sleep to the sound let's see you can see
2:06
here so here's the forest
2:12
ocean that is one loud ocean I think we
2:14
are laying right at the surf line but
2:17
very nice so it has actually a bunch of
2:19
different environmental sounds including
2:21
the ocean wind rain and a fan or white
2:25
noise sound so really nice let's not
2:28
fall asleep Stay With Me stay with me on
2:31
the back it actually you can see it has
2:33
an AUX in also it's built in FM radio
2:36
for those of you that listen to FM radio
2:39
and two USB charging ports which are
2:41
handy and on the top you can see there's
2:44
the light button and a smart button
2:47
which you program via the app easy
2:49
enough and Android and iPhone so apps
2:52
pretty compatible and you have volume up
2:54
down pause play all that sort of stuff
2:56
depending on the functionality you're
2:58
using and I just really like it I have
3:01
the previous generation of this clock
3:03
radio of this intelligent alarm clock I
3:07
have the previous generation of it on my
3:08
side table by my bed and it's definitely
3:11
going to be replaced by this cuz they've
3:12
done a nice job of upgrading it it's
3:14
just more fun the light is easier to see
3:17
and it's really not very expensive and
3:20
here's one of the cool things it does is
3:22
when you want to wake up you can program
3:25
this to do what's called sunrise and 30
3:28
minutes before your alarm will start
3:30
bringing light into your dark room in a
3:34
sequence of colors that simulate Sunrise
3:36
so what a nice way to wake up so much
3:39
better than your phone just going crazy
3:41
on you right um works with Spotify works
3:44
with iTunes you can set up your favorite
3:46
playlist and then this will
3:47
automatically wake you up to that
3:49
playlist and not much else to tell you
3:52
it's just a really nice device and I
3:54
think they've done a great job with this
3:57
and how much it's $79 .99 and you can
4:00
pick one up for yourself at witty
4:03
design.com this is Dave Taylor and I
4:05
need to switch out the one at my bedside
4:07
table to this so I'll catch you in my
