Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

My family users the Echo Dot in our kitchen for timers extensively. I've always felt like there was a disconnect when I had to ask Alexa how much time is left on my timers or pull out my phone to try to find it in the app. This wall clock is an excellent solution that makes Alexa timers so much better. The clock looks nice and modern. I would compare its looks/materials to standard wall clocks that you could buy at home goods stores for $10-$15. I definitely believe the timer features and auto time set functionality is worth the extra cost, though. Pros: * Visualization of Alexa timers makes them significantly more user friendly * Modern looking, aesthetically pleasing clock looks great in the kitchen without looking out of place * Silent operation (no ticking) * Auto-adjustment for time change (no climbing on my counter top to fall-back/spring-forward) * For the functionality of this clock, I would have expected the price to be higher Cons: * The clock materials could be improved * In the Alexa app, when looking at this clock paired to my Echo Dot, under Battery it says, "Unavailable". I assume that this should show some kind of battery status. I'm not sure if this is a bug, but it would be nice to have that working. * Multi-room audio on the paired Echo device causes the clock to temporarily disconnect. * Edit - 12/21/2018: The batteries completely died after only a few days of operation. Reading other reviews, this seems to be common place. I'm not sure if Amazon is shipping this with old batteries, or if the clock is burning through them quickly. I have new batteries in place now. I'll update this if they get spent fast as well. Amazon support chat was quick to credit me for new batteries. With this product, I believe that Amazon took something that was common place and mundane, and turned it into something with much more value and usefulness. I'm curious to see how long the batteries will last, but it was very nice that they included a set of batteries and a drywall anchor. From my experience so far, the visualization has updated nearly instantly after I initiated a timer on my Echo Dot. I am very pleased with this product. If you use Alexa for timers, you should get this wall clock. Edit (02/22/2019): I initially (and reluctantly) returned this clock due to the disconnect issues that I was experiencing. I repurchased this when it went back on sale last week. I'm very happy to report that the connectivity has been solid on this new clock with the updated software on it.
