The black plastic face is unprotected by any kind of covering. The white plastic housing doesn't feel all that substantial. With the Clock on your wall, you might notice that it's kind of cheap-looking. A sundial and a supercomputer walk into a bar. It will also adjust for daylight saving time automatically. Because your Echo device gets its time setting from Amazon's servers, you don't need to worry about maintaining accuracy. Once that pairing process starts, the hands on the Clock will spin around by themselves on their way to settling on the correct time. The Clock gets its time from the Echo it's paired with. After that, pairing it with your nearest Echo device is entirely automated. Once you put the batteries in, simply say "Alexa, set up my Wall Clock." It will prompt you to hold down a small button on the back of the Clock for six seconds. What I really did like is the Alexa-based setup process. Amazon says "it's working to improve the connectivity for customers." It's fine to have an utilitarian out-of-box experience, but maybe lock down the "batteries make it go" part before you ship. Too bad no one wants to troubleshoot a clock. It did! I swapped the original batteries back in it, and the Clock worked like it was supposed to.
An Amazon spokesperson suggested that taking the Amazon-provided batteries out and the putting them back in would work. Four fresh Duracells solved the problem for me.
I'm not the only user to face this issue. After that, the Clock kept the time, but it wouldn't show any timers from Alexa, nor would it acknowledge when I pressed the pairing button again thinking I needed a matchmaking do-over. The batteries got the Clock through the process of pairing it with an Echo speaker. You get a mounting screw, a plastic anchor for that screw, and four AmazonBasics AA batteries in that box, which introduced my only real irritation with the Clock.
