The main selling point of the Smart Clock (compared to just buying an Echo Dot) is the LED display, which can show the current time, alarms, weather, volume, and other data. The screen brightness also adjusts automatically. Compared to a regular clock, the main downside is that there’s no backup battery — if your power goes out, you might accidentally sleep longer than you should.
Lenovo sells the clock in either “Misty Blue” or “Clay Red,” and both colors are on sale for $29.99, as of the time of writing.
