A good smart clock has to be able to do alarms, play music, and take quick voice commands, all while fitting into a neat package on your nightstand. The new Amazon Echo Spot does the job with a small footprint, while still providing a 2.83-inch touchscreen to view the current time, the weather, which song is playing, your reminders, and other bits of information you might need to know at a glance. Plus, even with the screen, the speaker points forward, so when you wake up, you hear music or alarms loud enough to be heard across the room. So if you’re looking for a way to keep Alexa close by and you’d like a display to easily find and view information, the Echo Spot fits nicely in a bedroom, on a desk, or in a kitchen corner.
You can buy the Amazon Echo Spot on Amazon today for just $50, down from its original price of $80. That’s a $30 discount and or 38% off.
A quick and easy streaming hub with tons of uses
The Echo Spot’s 2.83-inch touchscreen provides this model with far more capabilities than just a speaker with numbers displayed on its face. You can select different clock faces and color options, view the weather at a glance, or see the title of the song that is currently playing. Plus, you can press the screen to view the quick controls for controlling playback.
It also comes equipped with a full-range, 1.73-inch built-in speaker. So, your favorite songs, podcasts, audiobooks, and other media sound full-bodied. You can also stream directly from your phone to the clock via Bluetooth or send audio from the clock to another Bluetooth speaker. Additionally, this version of the Echo Spot doesn’t contain a camera. So, you can place it in a bedroom or bathroom without feeling self-conscious.
As you begin using the screen and creating routines with Alexa, the possibilities expand greatly. You can set a wake-up routine with music and gradually increasing light, review your reminders, or make hands-free calls. You can also turn on/off and dim your smart home devices using voice commands. Matter over Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Low Energy Mesh are supported, and if you have a compatible eero network, you can also use eero Built-in to extend your network’s coverage.
The combination of a compact body, display, and more powerful audio makes this smart clock an excellent buy. For $50 instead of the normal $80, the Amazon Echo Spot exceeds expectations for alarms and reminders and can handle music, smart home control, hands-free calls, and quick visual data. So, if you’re looking for a product that can serve as a replacement for both a simple alarm clock and a small Alexa speaker, this discount makes it even more attractive.
