Below its 2.4-inch LCD screen, you\u2019ll find the 24GHz mmWave presence sensor the alarm clock uses to detect your body movements and whether you\u2019re sleeping through an alarm. There\u2019s also an easy to replace CR2032 coin cell backup battery that\u2019s used to preserve settings while the clock isn\u2019t getting power from a USB cable.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">Somewhat unexpected, given Nintendo\u2019s refusal to update its Joy-Con hardware, is the presence of a magnet and Hall effect sensor inside the rotary dial button atop Alarmo. That tech, which is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2024\/10\/25\/24279435\/8bitdo-ultimate-mobile-gaming-controller-android-hall-effect\">already in use in many third-party controllers<\/a>, should not only improve accuracy while using the dial to navigate the alarm clock\u2019s menus, but it will also help ensure that in five years\u2019 time Alarmo\u2019s dial can still work as reliably as it does today.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Unlike disassembling most modern smartphones, iFixit\u2019s teardown of Nintendo\u2019s Alarmo appears to be relatively painless.
