While the Apple Watch Series 6 is a useful accessory and continues to rank high on the best smartwatches list, the small screen can sometimes be limiting, especially when just waking up in the morning However, the NightWatch 20 accessory, currently available for $50, uses a magnifying orb to turn the small screen into a large, easy-to-read bedside alarm clock

NightWatch not only gives the groggy-eyed early riser a bigger picture, but also charges the Apple Watch while acting as a sound amplifier so that chimes can be heard The tap-to-wake feature also works to display the time The magnifying glass is made of solid Lucite, hand polished to a mirror finish It is compatible with all Apple Watches and is expected to include the upcoming Apple Watch Series 7

While the NightWatch is a cool accessory for the Apple Watch, it goes against the new philosophy Apple is trying to promote with its wearable watches after the full release of watchOS 8, Apple will encourage users to wear their Apple Watch while sleeping and record additional to record additional biometric data Apple wants users to be able to share that data with their doctors or close family members to monitor their health Therefore, for some users, the NightWatch may not be the most ideal accessory

watchOS 8 will include a breath count feature that tracks a user's breathing throughout the night It will also record the amount of time spent in bed and the amount of that time spent sleeping This data will be linked to the user's iPhone Health app to gather what can be done to improve the person's overall health
