When you think of the things you put on a bedside table, one of the most common gadgets is an alarm clock. Several people even put their phones on charge next to their bed. However, plugging in both may not be ideal if you only have one power outlet. You may also want a clutter-free table since too many wires, and cables can ruin your bedroom’s aesthetic. A good solution is to get an alarm clock with built-in wireless charging.

This way, the alarm clock serves two purposes — First, it can tell the time and wake you up in the morning. Second, you can rest your phone on the clock. The wireless charging will juice it up completely by the morning. Sounds convenient, right? If the idea appeals to you, here are some of the best alarm clocks with wireless charging that you can buy in the UK.

Of course, your phone needs to support Qi Wireless charging for these gadgets to work properly.

Alright, let’s get to the alarm clocks.

The Noklead Metal Alarm Clock is a generic-looking alarm clock that doesn’t have a lot of bells and whistles besides the wireless charging surface on the top. It’s good enough as a clock on your work desk or office since it won’t draw much attention.

There’s a large LED display on the front where you can see the time and upcoming alarms. You can snooze the alarm for up to 9 minutes by pressing on the top surface of the clock. Speaking of the top surface, this is where you find the wireless charging pad that can output a maximum of 10W.

If you’re looking for a small and inexpensive alarm clock with wireless charging, you can pick this up. We say this because you may face some issues with durability in the long run, but if you’re on a tight budget, there aren’t many options.

While the first option looked like a standard alarm clock, this one’s far from it. Let’s first deal with the clock aspect. It has a standard LED display for the time information and some buttons on the side to set an alarm. On top of the clock is a night lamp that gives out a warm, diffused light that’s easy on the eyes. This is the center console with other peripherals attached to it.

First up, there’s a standard wireless charger right in front of the clock, which isn’t the best design choice since it can block the time at certain angles. Apart from this, a small wireless charging pad on the side can charge a pair of earbuds like the AirPods. The right side has yet another pad to charge the Apple Watch. These additions make this clock is a great for those who own multiple Apple products.

The wireless charger can output a maximum of 10W. Also, you can attach an additional cable on the rear, which you can then connect to another device like a secondary phone or a pair of headphones. It’s more like a Swiss Knife of alarm clocks.

Gadgets like the alarm clock or just about anything you place on your desk or bedroom can significantly contribute to the overall decor of the place. If you’re a fan of an old, rustic vibe, this wooden alarm clock with wireless charging is just the one you were looking for. It blends in with furniture seamlessly while providing modern features like wireless charging.

The wireless charging pad is located on the top of the clock along with some physical buttons to set the time and alarms, control the radio, and most importantly for all us late bloomers — snooze alarms.

This bedside clock has a fabric-like exterior, with the top surface acting as a wireless charger. There are a few buttons at the top for adjustments and snoozing the alarm. As mentioned earlier, you can also pair this alarm clock to your smartphone to use it as a Bluetooth speaker.

Whether you want to go to bed with white noise playing by your bedside or binge on a Netflix show before falling asleep, hook your phone up to the speaker, and you’re good to go. You also get a USB port to attach an additional cable to charge a secondary device like a smartwatch. The wireless charger outputs a maximum of 10W.

Unlike the wooden clock or the multi-device charging unit, this alarm clock has a modern design that will fit into just about any type of room.

Instead of resting your phone flat either on top of the alarm clock or in front of it, this gadget integrates a smartphone holder on the front. It’s similar to a kickstand that allows you to rest your phone and watch content. This is a good way to keep charging your phone while you watch something on your phone in bed.

That’s why the size of the display on the clock is reduced. You may have to squint with your sleepy eyes to get a glimpse of the time. This clock also has a built-in Bluetooth speaker — the brand calls a ‘white noise machine.’ If you want the wireless charger in this orientation, get this one.

This alarm clock with wireless charging can charge your phone, earbuds, and an Apple Watch on either side.

You can use it as an FM radio or Bluetooth speaker whenever you want some entertainment. This is an excellent all-in-one gadget that will make your bedside table smarter than ever before.

An alarm clock with wireless charging can be super-convenient if you’re low on space or want a multi-purpose gadget. You will wake up on time and avoid a dirty look by your boss at work, plus you will wake up with a full charge and avoid playing treasure hunt for a USB cable in the middle of the day.
