Choose the Hatch Restore 3 if you want a sunrise alarm, sleep sounds and a bedtime routine. Choose the Hatch Sleep Clock if you also want contactless sleep tracking. Hatch listed the Sleep Clock at $249.99 and the Restore 3 at $169.99 when we checked. Both handle the same basic wake-up jobs, so the $80 difference is easier to justify if you plan to use the sleep data.
This comparison uses Hatch’s U.S. product pages, support documents and Yawnder’s existing reviews. We did not run a new head-to-head test of sensor accuracy or sunrise brightness. Editorial disclosure
Quick picks by use
- Restore 3 for a sunrise alarm and sound machine. Pick it if you want light and sound to help you get to bed and wake up, or you already use a wearable to see your sleep data.
- Sleep Clock for tracking without a wearable. Pick it if you want a bedside sensor to estimate when you fall asleep and how long you sleep, and you have a nightstand near your side of the bed.
- Keep a working Restore 2 if it already fits your routine. Hatch no longer manufactures it. Restore 3 adds more controls on the device. Choose Sleep Clock if adding tracking is the reason you want to upgrade. Hatch’s Restore 2 update

What works without a paid Hatch+ membership?
Hatch says both models include a sunrise alarm, basic routines and a selection of sounds. The Sleep Clock also includes tracking without a paid plan. Hatch+ adds more audio, such as guided content and additional sounds. Hatch advertises a 30-day trial of Hatch+. Its Restore 3 setup guidance says you activate a trial during setup and can cancel before the renewal date while keeping the basic features. Review the renewal details shown at activation.

Check your nightstand and Wi-Fi before ordering
Check where the sensor will sit. Hatch recommends roughly mattress height and about 2–4 feet from where you sleep. The Sleep Clock is designed for one primary sleeper. In a shared bed, place it on the tracked person’s side and expect results to vary with the layout. If both people want separate sleep reports, compare individual tracking options.

Check what “phone-free” means. Both models offer buttons for common actions such as adjusting volume and starting or stopping routines. You still use the app and Wi-Fi for setup. If you want to set up an alarm entirely on the device, compare Dreamie in our smart alarm clock setup guide. Restore 3 setup · Sleep Clock Wi-Fi requirements
Common questions
Is the Hatch Sleep Clock worth $80 more?
At the prices we checked, the difference buys contactless sleep tracking and insights on top of the shared sunrise and sound features. Keep the $80 if you mainly want a gentle alarm or already get the sleep information you use from another device.
Can I add sleep tracking to Restore 3 with Hatch+?
No. Restore 3 has no sleep-tracking sensor. A Hatch+ membership adds content. Hatch Sleep Clock is the model with contactless tracking.
What does Hatch Sleep Clock measure?
Hatch says the sensor detects breathing and small movements and uses those signals to estimate sleep timing and stages. Yawnder has not independently measured the accuracy of those estimates. How Hatch estimates sleep
