Analog Clock Meets Digital Age
The style of this clock is minimalist and contemporary, and it looks nice on the wall. The quality of materials is a bit disappointing; the device feels of mostly plastic. However, people won't be handling the clock except to hang it on the wall and change batteries. Recurrent battery changing will become annoying if needed frequently. Only time will tell, and this will vary based on how often Echo timers/alarms are used. Aside from keeping time, the clock has essentially three other features: 1. White LED tick marks around the clock face visually display how much time is left on an Echo timer. If you set multiple timers on an Echo device, these will be displayed as well. People who often use Echo timers will appreciate this visual representation. 2. When an Echo alarm goes off, all white LEDs around the clock flash brightly several times and then stop shortly afterward. The LEDs do not display an alarm time or how much time is left until an alarm triggers. 3. If you receive an Echo notification, a small circular LED above the "6" will slowly blink yellow several times and then stop shortly afterward. This feature is honestly quite useless (unless you happen to be looking at the clock shortly after a notification arrives). Pros: This clock can blend well with many interiors and operates quietly. The white LEDs are bright and nicely provide timer countdown visualizations. The unit helps ensure notice of a triggering Echo alarm. Cons: This product does not have speakers or respond to commands. It's a simple battery-powered clock that connects to one Echo via Bluetooth. The unit doesn't have the capacity to learn skills or evolve much over time, since it is essentially just a Bluetooth-paired device. Worth The Price? If you use Echo timers often, then this is probably worth it. If you don't use your Echo for timers very much, then you should pass on this one (unless you are in need of an analog clock that automatically adjusts for daylight savings time).
