5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Smart Alarm Clock - Super Fun to Customize
Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2024
Packaging: Shipped in Amazon box. The product was packed tightly in a branded blue and white Amazon container. Contents only included the device itself, a charger, and directions.

Product Impressions: It's super cool you can set up the device beforehand on the Amazon app or online on a webpage. On a basic level, this can simply be a alarm clock which I tested and worked perfectly with the Alexa app on my iPhone. I am a security guy and like my privacy, I love how easy it is to turn off the microphone by the press of one button on the device so it cannot listen to me anymore. On the other hand, I did play around with the app more in depth and with the device itself and found the settings to be pretty deep but also fun. I set up fun routines so that when I wake up, it tells me the weather, the traffic, chances of rain, etc. along with custom messages like, "here is today's forecast" and such. The device is pretty customizable on the app but I wish it did have more clock faces for how much I paid for it. My biggest gripe with the device is: No power=No alarm. So if the power goes out in the night and doesn't come back on by the time I wake up, I will not have an alarm. Granted this happens rarely, just wanted to point it out. The speaker is fine for a 1.5 inch however don't expect quality sound. It sounds like a JBL handheld speaker if that helps.

Usability: So many fun settings to customize for all fun tech people! You can even make it private and turn off A LOT of functionality for privacy if that matters most.

Overall Thoughts: Price is kinda high but it's super fun and I love playing around with it with custom queries! I hope future models will include areas to put batteries in case of power outage.

5.0 out of 5 stars I Love This Little Spot!
Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2024
Let me tell you how much I love this little thing! When the original Spot was released, I'd pre-ordered it. I was so excited for it to come. It was going to be the perfect new bedside alarm clock for me due to my previous one of 20 some years finally having died. And it was and is still going strong. Since buying that, Amazon has come out with the Dots which this is not! And Echoes which are okay, but those have turned into advertising units that you either can't stop showing ads or, if you're able to turn the ads and things off, it only lasts a few days before they start all over again. Then along comes the New Spot! It's a Wonderful Thing! It primarily does ONE THING and does it so well! It's a clock. It's. A. Clock! Oh, it makes the announcement noise for things like deliveries, etc, but the Echo Show 5 I replaced with this Spot used to show me announcements and ads and all sorts of things I kept turning off that kept coming back and rarely showed me what time it was which is the one thing I wanted to see on the face. This Spot shows me what time it is unless I ask it something. I'm so impressed that Amazon finally listened to people and designed this unit to give me a clock! There's a yellow line at the bottom of the screen if there's a notification. There's a clock face that shows the weather behind the clock. And there's the clock that's easy to read. The speaker is good, better than the original Spot, not a high end speaker, but has come a long way from the first one. My hope is that Amazon will leave it alone other than operational updates because this one is almost perfect! The only thing it won't do for me so far is show me my Ring cameras. I can live with that.

4.0 out of 5 stars No detailed user manual
Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2024
We have 4 Echo devices in our network controlling a variety of items in our home. My wife needed a new alarm clock on her bed table and this Spot was being sold on pre-Prime day at a discount. It arrived the next day and was easy to set up using a QR scan. The user manual is a very brief and gave only the basics. Usually there’s a link to a more detailed manual but not in this case. You have to be careful because the Spot was originally introduced 6-7 years ago and then discontinued. This 2024 version is different so the old manual and much of the online discussions relate to the old model. Many functions can only be set by using the Alexa app on my IPhone. Some are available using the touch screen on the Spot. Over three days, through trial and error, we finally have it set up to do want we want. Most of our adjustments related to night brightness and volume. The night brightness has two modes. One is total night where the numbers change to a faint reddish glow which we found difficult to read. The other mode adapts the display to the level of ambient light. That works well and we adopted it. The one feature we couldn’t believe was missing was the inability to turn off a preset alarm without speaking out loud to Alexa. This was when either of us got up before the alarm went off and we wanted to silence it without speaking. Since there’s no manual, I contacted tech support and they couldn’t help me. They recommended using the Alexa app on my phone. That means we would always need to have a phone available and go through the menus. Unacceptable! Finally, after many many attempts, I finally found you can do that by tapping on the alarm display on the main screen. That takes you to a second display of the alarm detail and then you swipe left. The screen changes to a red bar with an “X” on it. Touch the X and the alarm is gone silently.
Otherwise, the device seems to work well and so far, we haven’t heard shopping ads as are present on other Echo devices.
