Amazon’s Echo Time is a $200 camera-free smart clock built for better sleep
Amazon introduced Echo Time, an orb-shaped smart clock positioned as a sleep-focused bedside device. Powered by Alexa+, it features a smart alarm that wakes users within 10 to 60 minutes of a set time when detecting lighter sleep stages. The display automatically brightens at wake time and gradually increases alarm volume across up to four snooze cycles. At night, the display dims to show only time or next alarm. Notably camera-free, the device includes a kids version with parent-controlled sleep schedules and carries National Sleep Foundation SleepMark certification.
