Echo Spot Review: A Smart Alarm Clock That Gets Out of Your Way

The Echo Spot is a smart alarm clock first. It shows the time, weather and song titles, has better sound than you'd expect, and wakes you gently, all without a camera on your nightstand. This listing is a 2-pack.

Key features

• The customizable clock face is simple and easy to read.
• Fuller sound than an Echo Dot for music and audiobooks.
• Wake-up routines with gradual light and music make mornings easier.

Best for

Bedrooms and offices, and couples or households wanting a matching pair.

Things to consider
