What Makes this a 'smart' alarm clock?
Like, is it the bluetooth speaker or the mood lights?
Heck, why link this one? The Glow model is way nicer.
Edit: Look at the manual. It's useless without a phone. Heck, here are the set up instructions. Dumbest alarm clock I've ever seen.

I have one of these. So nice since I have a lot of electronics I want charging overnight.
YTA I realize it isn't intentional, but when you live in an apartment you have to think of others as your life activities will impact theirs. I understand it can be hard to wake up a deep sleeper as it is an issue I have struggled with myself. Something that helped me was changing my alarm clock from the traditional sound only option to a light alarm like this one. It still has a sound alarm at the end of the wake up light, but I either don't make it to the alarm or I am able to wake up to it immediately. I was really skeptical of this at first, but it has worked for the last few years and I am actually getting better sleep as a result of not pseudo waking myself up 10x before I can actually truly wake up.
They still make them, but I've never seen one in the wild.
I use both Pandora and Google Play, both streaming and music loaded on the device. I play via a pair of Photive Bluetooth headphones, I have a stereo setup with a pair of Soundfreq Sound Platform 2's in my living room, and I have an Inatek Mercury Box in my bathroom. All work beautifully with my N5X. My previous Galaxy S3 didn't always play nice with the SP2's and I would get cut-outs and drop the stereo a lot.

We bought the car seats piece meal, but very economical
I have very similar "retard" moments so this was an excellent post, I commend you.
You may very well have just changed my mind ( I was leaning towards this one). I like the fact that it shows your alarm time (w/o pressing a button), I agree this should be a no-brainer feature.
Thanks for the great suggestion!
It looks like the crystal oscillator, Y1 snapped off?
Easiest thing is trying to solder one of these in:

Underrated, but a good digital alarm clock. I used my phone for a year, but then I bought a clock. I can tell the time easier and mine has two USB charging ports. Link
We have an alarm clock with a USB port in it similar to this. Usually guests bring their own cable, but I would certainly loan them one if they asked.
If it breaks they can buy a new one.

Maybe you could get something like this.
I'm considering buying a phone mount for my car that seems perfect for my needs, but there's one problem with it: it's bright white. I'd much rather have it black or dark grey.
So then I started thinking, I could probably paint this thing. I'd have to watch out for the hinges and buttons of course, disassemble it as much as possible, and tape over anything I don't want to change color (I like the orange knobs), but with some spray paint and some time, I bet I could pull it off.
What kind of paint would I want to use on this project? I basically have no experience with this sort of thing. Would I need a primer layer (or multiple)? I'm guessing I'd want some sort of plastic-specific paint, but it would also need to go on in thin layers so the moving parts don't get jammed. And I don't want it flaking off eventually.
Thanks for your help!

I bought an alarm clock at Target (made by Emerson Research) that the alarm starts very low and gradually gets louder over the course of a minute. Changed my life! It also dimly projects the time on the ceiling and sets itself. Put it on your Christmas list :)
Bomb clocks exist and they're awesome.

I will be starting my first teaching job in just a few weeks! I will be teaching art to middle schoolers, and would really love a radio for my classroom. I think my students will want to have some music (and so will I) as we work and create things.
There's a few reasonably simple options involving a smartphone. I'm going to assume you don't have one.
This will read mp3s from a USB stick, and play them through the speakers. It might be difficult to select your music.
This can play mp3s on a CD (so you could put all your Beatles or Metalica albums on one disk, and play them all at once), or on a USB stick.
Your computer is another option. Not ideal (it's probably not in the same room as you want to relax and listen to music in), but an option. Some good speakers will improve things.
If you have a simple Android phone, and you have a TV with a HDMI port, you can put the music on your phone and play it on your TV with a Chromecast. Stick that into your TV, and use the Google Music app on your phone to select music and play on the TV.
I use this Sony Alarm clock. It is outside of your budget, but I think that it is worth it. The sound quality is better than a cheap one, and has a more pleasant alarm tone. It has settings for two different alarms like you asked for. It has a battery backup so that it won't reset if you have a blackout.
In my mind, a quality alarm clock is something that you use every day and is worth paying for. If your alarm clock stops functioning properly, you get in trouble at work, and you need to go to work in order to make a living.
Go and buy a standard clock-radio alarm like this one.
They all use the same internal module, and the snooze function is always the same : 9 minutes. I don't know why, but it is. It probably dates back to when the first models were developed. Perhaps there's a technical reason that we don't know about.
So that's what we have all become accustomed to. And Apple followed the established norm. If they had made it a different value people would be outraged.
So don't blame Apple. Blame the engineer who chose a 9 minute snooze function all those years ago.
I have one of those big radio alarm clocks, in "buzzer mode". Even with ear plugs, it's impossible not to hear that.

Here's an example of one I bought recently. Mind's a different model but these are cool. Dual alarm, goes by weekdays/weekends but the cool feature was the time projection. When it's dark in the room the time projects onto the ceiling. It's handier than it sounds. Can't say it ramps up in volume on its own though.
