Amazon's new Echo Spot makes nightstand clocks cool again with a smart home twist

The latest Alexa smart alarm clock doubles as a nightstand companion, and it's got an enticing offer during Prime Day.

Meant to function much like a clock radio, the Echo Spot features a small screen that takes up about two-thirds of the front, with the speaker occupying the bottom chin area. The screen can display the time with customizable clock faces, show alarms, weather, song titles, and even some Alexa illustrations triggered by specific commands. With the launch of the Echo Spot, Amazon is also releasing four new custom alarm sounds, including Aurora, Daybreak, Endeavor, and Flutter.
