Boxing bell alarm clock

boxing bell alarm

A boxing bell alarm clock from Banpresto:

When the alarm goes off, a referee voice begins counting to ten. If you are able to get up and smash the snooze button, you can go back to sleep. If you’re down for the count, the bell will start ringing when the count reaches ten.

It will go on sale on December 25th for a price of about 2,900 yen. There is also a pro-wrestling version, which only counts to three.

The mallet seems unnecessary when you can just smash it with your palm. It also has the foreseeable drawback of becoming conditioned to smash anything that wakes you up, including your cellphone.

I wanted the hammer automatically hit the bell, like real boxing bell. :/
