    The weird part about it is the device this technically competes with would be the Amazon Echo Spot, which has way more functionality and a touch screen OLED display for $79.99 USD.

      That's hilarious. Looked up the Amazon Echo Spot and that doesn't seem to be worth the money at all. It's just an alarm clock with Alexa. It doesn't even have the sleep monitoring functions of the Alarmo. You can just buy a cheaper clock with the same features from China for half or third the price sans Alexa and OLED. Though those usually come with some other gimmick features like a thermometer or weather updates via their downloadable apps.

    Some other cons I didn't mention in the video:
    1) Can only be used with one person (no couples allowed).
    2) The screen is LCD, not OLED, so it doesn't look completely black.
    3) The screen does not cover the entire circular shape.
    Etc...

    Real review, no bs, more informative than all the other stuff about this thing I've seen 10/10.

      Where have you been seeing that? I've never seen this thing get 10/10 anywhere. The best it gets is "Cute and Fun....not worth what they're charging tho....", and that's pretty much across the board, with some even calling it annoying and not well cooked. Hell, even Nintendo Life, a Nintendo fansite, wasn't giving it 10/10. Even search Alarmo reviews on Google to make sure, and yeah 7's and 8's mostly and even lower.

    Nintendo selling alarm clocks when we already got phones which do the same; we are at fault here bro.

    I'm curious about the motion sensor technology in the alarm clock. maybe this is a stretch, but what if the alarm clock is just a pet project to see how well the motion sensing technology works before adding it to the rumored switch successor? I'm not sure why they would be interested in a technology as old as Kinect. But this is Nintendo, maybe they will surprise us with some unusual application.

    • @NintendoUpDotCom

      Maybe for the Switch 3? I don't recall any rumors about motion-sensing in the Switch 2.

    Thanks for the honest review. A rare treat, particularly from Nintendo fans.

    It does show your Movement Log in addition to the time & animations that respond to your movements.

    The fit series absolutely deserves to stand besides those other series. It's a massive best selling one among exactly the market segment this clock is aiming for.
    The big question is why didn't tehy include simple alarms from 20 other series

    Do you think it's shock resistant?

    • @NintendoUpDotCom
      @NintendoUpDotCom  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It's built well, and it's made for kids, so yes I do think it could survive falls and things.

    The rectangle screen on a black circle was the killer for this junk. I am a huge Nintendo fan and I am shocked that they signed off on this.

    • @NintendoUpDotCom
      @NintendoUpDotCom  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I agree. I think a new team made this, and it shows.

    Your #3 comment says the screen doesn't cover the entire display.
    Does that mean the image just don't cover the entire display or something else? As far as the video shows, the screen shows everything important/worth registering
    4:14 You say 7 /alarms isn't enough. Does that meant there are 7 alarms available through the day, or that 7 alarms in one daty aren't an option ?

    • @NintendoUpDotCom
      @NintendoUpDotCom  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      The LCD screen is a rectangle, not a circle. There are big black borders on the top and bottom. It is not a circular screen.
      And I meant 7 games to choose from are not enough. There are 5 at launch and 2 in the future with DLC. You can only set one alarm.

    • @dylanrhoads
      @dylanrhoads หลายเดือนก่อน

      Misleading. There are 7 alarm scenes per game for a total of 49 alarm scenes.

      Sounds like he selected to shuffle only the Zelda alarms. There’s a separate “shuffle all” selection.

    He’s not even using it as an alarm clock, just a desk clock.

    • @NintendoUpDotCom
      @NintendoUpDotCom  หลายเดือนก่อน

      I tested it as an alarm clock and then decided it's annoying. So I use it as a desk clock. Like many others.

      Thanks! After a video I spent 8+ hours to make got 20 views, I stopped caring. Naturally, after that, the views increase.

    shuffle is not random, shuffle should prevent repetition, especially instant repetition
