Most of the time we buy an alarm clock just to use as a functional device to get us up in the morning so that we are not late for work. However, with thousands to choose from it is often too hard to find the right one and in this Top Five, we are looking at some of the alternatives in the alarm clock sector.
The power socket alarm clock
Why bother with alarm clocks that offer things that you do not want, when you can get an alarm where you can choose how to be woken up in the morning, so forget flying, banging and screaming alarms for a moment as this alarm is something completely different.
This is a mains powered device with a standard looking red LED clock face on the front, but behind there are two mains powered sockets! Now you add two devices of your choosing that are turned on at the selected time, my choice would be the television and coffee machine, but it could be anything that the user chooses, the possibilities are endless!
This is concept device and so there are no prices yet

Cool looking iPhone alarm clock
The iPhone already has an a alarm feature, but this alarm clock dock offers a bit more than just leaving the Smartphone on the side. This is a retro looking design that has been brought right up to date with radio, speakers and an LCD display to set the device up. It can even be connected to a CD player for that more personal choice of music to be woken up to and you do not want to use your Smartphone, as the dock can easily be hidden.
These are the features for the excellent Tick Tock iPhone Alarm Clock;
Old-fashioned alarm clocks are all well and good but they have an infuriating habit of dinga-linging you awake with their cacophonous bells and failing to go off when you forget to wind them up. That said, there’s something incredibly appealing about that classic round face and twin bell design. And that’s just one of the reasons why we love the Tick Tock iPhone Alarm Clock.

It’s a bomb! No, it’s an alarm!
This is something that could land you in serious trouble and yet it is merely an alarm based on those props that appear in the movies! It is too real looking and in fact once the alarm sounds you have ten seconds to choose which wire to cut in order to save the world! Don’t take this on vacation with you; in fact don’t take it anywhere at all!
These are the details on the interesting and slightly scary Defusable Clock;
The Defusable Clock is a fully-functional alarm clock just like you’d expect (a normal beeping alarm, snooze alarm, etc.). But at any time you can press the big red button to start a scary countdown sequence exactly like bombs in Hollywood movies. There are 4 wires across the top of the clock. You have 10 seconds to choose the correct wire to cut: one wire stops the countdown and saves the day, two have no effect, and one will “detonate” the device immediately. These role of each wire is randomly assigned when the detonate button is pressed, so it’s a new challenge every time.
