I use the device to ask Alexa to turn the lights on and off in my office. The small circular screen shows the forecast, and alerts me to package deliveries. The Echo Spot also syncs with my nearby Echo Wall Clock via Bluetooth.
It's a nice way to feel connected, in an ambient sort of way. I wouldn't say that it's a vital part of my information flow.
At 4.5 inches in diameter, the face of the new Echo Spot is slightly larger than the 3.75-inch diameter of the screen on the original.
Gone is the 2.5-inch-diameter circular screen, replaced by a small rectangular display (2.25 inches by 1.75 inches).
