Amazon's wall clock is designed as a companion for Alexa, and there are definitely some pros and cons.
arrived in Business Insider's office, I wasn't exactly sure what the product was meant for. After all, the clock has no speakers, no microphone, and doesn't have built-in Alexa, the digital assistant that controls Amazon's family of Echo smart home devices.
As an Echo companion product, the Echo Wall Clock isn't a standalone smart device, so how does it compare to a regular clock? Well, there are certainly pros and cons when comparing Amazon's $29.99 clock to what you might find for $10 in a department store.At face-value, the Echo Wall Clock isn't much different from a regular clock.
The Echo Wall Clock will easily pair with Echo devices through a voice command or through the Alexa app, and can set the time automatically. Unfortunately, there's no way to set the time or keep the clock running without a paired device. I had already used my bedroom Echo Dot to set a daily alarm, but I found that waking up to the glowing halo of the Echo Wall Clock's lights were much more likely to get me out of bed in the morning. Being able to keep track of kitchen and laundry timers without consulting my phone or asking Alexa was another nice benefit to using the Echo Wall Clock.If your Echo device loses power, your Echo Wall Clock is pretty much useless.
