The clocks have fallen back an hour for many of us, and if it all feels a bit disorienting, youâre not alone. Thankfully, Amazonâs versatile Echo Spot is on sale to help you adjust. Normally $79.99, right now you can buy the smart alarm clock at Amazon in black, blue, or white with a free Globe Electric smart bulb for $49.99, which equates to $41.99 in savings. Thatâs just $5 shy of the all-time low we saw during Amazonâs recent Prime Day event.

Amazon’s Echo Spot alarm clock is on sale with a free color smart bulb
Amazon’s Echo Spot is available with a Globe Electric smart bulb for $49.99 at Amazon. You can also currently save on the Fitbit Charge 6 and Samsung’s Music Frame speaker.
Amazonâs speedy smart speaker can be set up so that it gently wakes you up with music instead of typical alarm clock sounds, which can be jarring. The Spot is also a lot more useful than your run-of-the-mill clock, as it offers a customizable 2.83-inch screen that displays helpful info (including the weather and music playback). However, unlike Amazonâs larger smart displays, the latest Spot doesnât push on-screen ads and lacks a camera, so thereâs less of a privacy concern.
What makes the Spot particularly useful, though, is that it functions as an inexpensive Alexa speaker. That means you can use it to perform all kinds of tasks, from setting reminders to playing podcasts, audiobooks, and music. You can also use it to control other smart home devices with just your voice, including lights and smart thermostats. Thatâll come in handy as the days get colder and darker â after all, no one wants to leave the warmth of their bed just to hit the lights.
