Deal HistoryÂ
Deal History includes data from multiple reputable stores, such as Best Buy, Target, and Walmart. The lowest price among stores for a given day is selected as the "Sale Price".
Sale Price does not include sale prices at Amazon unless a deal was posted by a community member.
I have 1st Gen Essential and this Smartclock 2nd Gen (apparently, different family/lineup), got them both when they were on sale in-store. I prefer the 1st Gen Essential because:
* Built-in Light
* Built-in USB port
* Better speaker volume control (1st Gen smoothly goes louder/quieter, 2nd gen jumps really loud)
* Smaller footprint
The 2nd Gen plus point is it has better screen (can display photos, clock faces). This is pretty cool if you like pretty photos, so if this your deciding factor, then go for 2nd Gen.
I haven't explored whether both gens can have/save "local alarms" but for my use case, my alarms are internet-dependent. Which means without internet, it goes down too! I am not bothered by it, but if you are, then it might be a deal breaker.
Major plus factor for me is the fact that I use this as a "Family Bell". Another use case is, it also works as broadcast system i.e. "I am almost home, open the door as I have lots of groceries". Since I have all rooms covered, no matter where my kids are, they can hear me.
I am not sure if you can use it like a two-way intercom, but I don't have the Mics turned on these, I have the physical mic button on off as I don't really like these devices always hearing our conversation.
I have 11 of these, 1 in each room, living room, media room, kitchen, garage, play room, fun room, master bedroom, bath 1, bath 2, bath 3, bath 4. scattered across all 2 floors with one Wireless Access Point and they have all been solid (no disconnect). They all reside in my IoT VLAN among other smart bulbs (>10), smart outlets (>10), streaming players, and a few IoT devices (>10).
At this price, I think this is pretty solid with a free smart bulb.
Got 2 last go round, one for a gift and one for my son who can seem to set an alarm for school days. Clock works fine and set up is a breeze. Multi color bulb is "cool" for the teenage son.
Would buy it again
Got this last deal. Best thing about this is the adaptive brightness at night. Gets extremely dim - and there is an option to make it even dimmer. Love it. No more lighthouse beacon on my side of the bed anymore. Lightbulb seemed ok - but i am already in a different ecosystem and dont want to use the lenovo app special for the bulb. Clock is great. Really worth the $25 on its own.
There aren't enough volume steps. It goes from being too quiet to too loud with one step up in volume.
There's no battery backup. If power is out when your alarm is supposed to go off, you are SOL. I bought a cheap LED alarm clock 20 years ago that had battery backup.
It's not that smart.
Someone disassembled one in a video, and apparently it has a camera in it.
Link to tear down with camera?
No battery backup does suck. I think the clock would restore time/settings from network on a loss and gain of power. But - if your alarm was scheduled to go off during that outage - SOL.
I still like it - mainly because how dim it gets in a dark room. I thought that was an issue with the essential version. That the display was too bright?

It's just a ambient light sensor not a camera. The guy in that particular youtube review video says that.
Okay, maybe I'm out of the loop, but Walmart is charging me $5.99 to pick this up at the store because I haven't met a $35 minimum order total?
They're charging money now just to pick it up in the store? Am I reading this right???
Walmart online is going downhill fast, and taking the brick and mortar stores with it. Their policies are a mess and constantly change. Unless I know for sure I want the product, I avoid Walmart online.
That being said, these are great as alarm clocks, or to replace a basic Google speaker if you don't mind trading the audio quality for a small screen.
Dumb questions - I got my wife the first gen one, and it's Ok.
If I get this one for my side of the bed, how do you keep your voice from activating both alarms?
Also, one reason I haven't ditched the old-school clock radio is that I like to wake up a particular sports talk radio station. Can I still wake up to that stream?
