In 2025, Amazon reintroduced the Echo Spot, a smart alarm clock with a small LED display and better audio quality, priced at ₹8,999. It aims to combine the functionality of a bedside clock with Alexa's capabilities. But does it truly deliver on its promises? Let's see if it's worth a place on your nightstand.

The Amazon Echo Spot has a unique, compact design, resembling a half-sphere suitable for a bedside table or shelf. Its glossy front gives the illusion of a full display, but it actually features a 2.83-inch screen (320 x 240 resolution) on the top half and a fabric-covered speaker grill on the bottom, resulting in a sleek minimalist look. While the display is bright and readable, its low resolution and limited viewing angles make it best for basic information like time and weather.
