I was looking for an alarm clock to replace having to depend on just my plugged in phone - mostly to check the time in the middle of the night or in the morning. I have used Lenovo smart devices in the past, so, I thought this would be as good. I really love the mesh design and the feel of the clock overall, pretty nice and sturdy despite being made of plastic. I also like the added usb port on the back. However, this loses 2 stars for me because of the lack of options on the alarm clock. Watch faces are still pretty weak and options like auto-dim when the room is dark are missing. I have to manually dim the screen when I'm about to go to sleep. Sometimes I'll leave it at the lowest setting and throughout the day I can barely see it, which means I have to manually brighten it again throughout the day. Then there's the Qi charger. It barely works with my iPhone 12 Pro Max. It'll charge but for some reason it will lose connection throughout the night since the charger + icon is a bit raised, meaning the connection isn't flush. I don't understand why it's designed like this... maybe better for Airpods or something. To try to get around this I planned on plugging in my Magsafe charger in the back but there's no USB C port on this clock. I get it's designed for Android devices, but Android uses USB C and Qi chargers too - so the overall design of the Qi charging is definitely half-baked. I say skip this version and use your money on a Google Nest. Or another, cheaper Lenovo clock.

This is exactly what i was looking for. Gives the time and weather, charges my phone, goes dim when I'm sleeping. We have an Alexa in the living room of our small house, so this being Google enabled was a plus so both devices don't answer at once.

I absolutely love this thing. I have one in my bedroom, and my bathroom. It's great as a digital frame, but more pragmatically useful in my morning routine. It will share the news and weather as I shower and get ready for the day. Much cheaper than a Google hub, but perfect if you don't need those extra features. I will say, the nightlight is a little frustrating. I wish you could add timers or automations to it via Google home like you can other lights. The wireless charging is decent feature, especially if you want to have it for your nightstand. But it's a slower charge for most modern flagships.
