Pulling yourself out of the bed is hard enough at the best of times, but a lack of motivation can lead to one too many presses of the snooze button. While the Tikker watch counts down the remaining seconds of our lives as a reminder to make the most of everyday, the new ALARMclock displays personal metrics such as the number of friends you have, your bank balance, or even your projected date of death, based on their age, health, lifestyle, diet and family history.

Created by Fig, the device is enclosed in a stylish mahogany base and features a colourful, 2-bit LED screen. As well as simply telling the time, users can sync their clock with real-time data from their social networks, bank account or fitness app using WiFi. The premise is that users become motivated to take action if important aspects of their lives begin to slack and deteriorate.

Having successfully raised over $25,000 through a Kickstarter campaign, the company is now bringing the ALARMclock to market, retailing at USD 85.
