In short, best wall clock I’ve ever had - while it is pricey (keep an eye on the price, I got it for less than the currently listed $75), it’s highly functional and it would be hard to go about my typical routine now without it. I hope more Echo clocks are made in different styles, as I would get more clocks for other rooms in the home.
Update: I went almost a year using the first 4 C batteries – so not sure why battery life was so poor for other buyers. I use it several times per week, sometimes several times daily.
I had trouble re-pairing the clock to my Echo Show after I had to change the batteries. So I went to settings on my Echo Show, clicked to “forget” the clock, and then re-paired from scratch without any problems. FYI in case it helps someone else.
