Best projector clocks

Nothing says modern quite like a projector clock. Perhaps the easiest way of reading the time, keeping a projector clock in your room is not only useful, but equally stylish. With a variety of functions, designs and surprises, our selection of projector clocks has been curated with today’s concept of luxury living in mind. All the clocks offer at least 180º projection rotation and alarm function, and all are designed with time(less) appeal.

Of the selections we’ve made, we do have a favorite. Given its AM and FM radio, ultra-clear projection and phone-charging capacity, the Mesqool Projection Alarm Clock has us completely sold. Suitable for placement on any flat surface, whether that be your bedside table, a desk or your bedroom floor, it will keep you in check for the working week and wake you up with an apt level of decibels – simply select your preferred volume. To learn more about this and our other top picks, read on below.

Getting out of bed can be a real drag, but this Mesqool Projection Alarm Clock makes it a far sweeter process. Set your alarm, either to a buzzer or radio station, and you will wake to a fully-charged phone, courtesy of the USB port. With brightness adjustability, you can brighten or dim your LCD-screen display, a handy function to help you get the best night’s sleep possible. The radio can be switched from AM to FM in a flash – all it takes is one tap – and you can preset up to ten stations for each. Light sleepers, fear not. You can choose from fifteen volume options (level fifteen is for heavy sleepers!) and wake to an alarm that gets incrementally louder, giving the smoothest wake-up call there is. Oh, and did we mention the projector can be reversed, focused and rotated a full 180º.

As far as we’re concerned, this curved-screen, minimalist clock is a must-have for those looking to inject a touch of swank into their bedroom. Easy to use, suitable for both children and adults, the PICTEK Projection Alarm Clock not only offers style, but functionality by the bucket load. The projection can be flipped, rotated and brightened or dimmed to suit the user’s taste. And for those craving a few more zeds in the morning, the nine-minute snooze function will prove very handy. As if not enough, you’ll wake to a completely juiced phone.

If you are looking for a more affordable option, but refuse to compromise on functionality, this La Crosse Technology Projection Alarm Clock is a perfect pick. With smooth features and a classy palette of black and chrome, it’s powered by a 4.5V AC adapter included with the product; alternatively, it can take two AAA batteries – although you must provide these yourself. And, if you aren’t already smitten, you will be when you discover its extra-special features: humidity and temperature reading, and a full 360º projection rotation. 

Quite the all-rounder, the Htterino Projection Alarm Clock has a comprehensive set of functions, from its wireless phone-charging capacity to Bluetooth hands-free calling. As well as the aforementioned showpiece functions, it also lays claim to a host of other handy tricks: a TF card slot, an inbuilt recorder for your own personalized alarms, radio and an unrivaled standby battery. Suitable for indoor and outdoor use, it can be kept at home as your daily alarm clock, or it can also double up as a portable speaker, which, might we add, is high definition. Oh, and how could we not mention the projector? Ultra-clear, with 180º rotation and a knob to adjust focus, it works a treat. For optimum clarity, stick within the range of 7–10ft.

Getting your forty winks is a birthright, and the OnLyee Projection Alarm Clock respects that. Equipped with nap and deep-sleep timers, this projector clock can help you keep tabs on your sleep regime. As well as this, the projected time, which shows in a soft-blue color, is clear enough to see easily, but not so bright as to disturb your slumber. Ideal, right? Besides its sleep-friendly quirks, it also provides phone-charging, courtesy of the USB port, AM and FM radio, and the standard alarm function. Another neat tip: you can program in two alarms for a personalized schedule. Waking up to your favorite radio show helps too.

How can something so little pack so much punch? The Magnasonic Projection Alarm Clock is quite simply astonishing. At once a radio, alarm and stereo, it offers a plethora of useful quirks, such as weekend cancellation (i.e. no alarms on Saturday or Sunday!), auxiliary input for you to play your own music and the advanced SelfSet technology which automatically displays the correct time and date. Even better, if it loses power, the alarm settings are restored thanks to the built-in lithium battery. And like all our selected projector clocks, the projector can be swivelled to point where you choose, allowing you to view the time or even the temperature without leaving your bed.
