Amazon just announced its newest smart alarm clock — the Echo Time. The baseball-sized smart speaker with a screen, the Time looks like an Echo Dot with Clock and an Echo Spot had a much bigger baby. It features a 3.2-inch touchscreen that prominently displays your choice of a huge selection of clockfaces and includes a sleep-sensing feature that promises to rouse you at just the right time in your sleep cycle to help you feel more rested. It costs $199.99 and is available to order now.
I spent some time with the Time at Amazon’s event in New York City and was impressed by several upgrades over the Spot, one of my favorite smart alarm clocks. The biggest is that you can set an alarm using the touchscreen, so you won’t wake your partner when you try to set one with your voice late at night.
