It turns out, the perfect stand is what we’ve really been waiting for.
Just a broad question: do any of you all still have either a standalone analog or digital clock in your bedroom?
Or is your phone your clock?
Yup. Digital.
We do have actual clocks in our bedroom as well as the kitchen, but we’re old enough to have acquired them before we got smartphones. If we were starting from scratch I’m not sure what we would do.
I did replace the kitchen clock a couple of years ago when the old one broke, but now that I think of it, it was purely reflex to buy a replacement for a broken item. I never actually thought about whether we needed one anymore.
Nope, my phone is my clock and alarm for my room. I used to have one of the sunrise alarm clocks but never used it, so it eventually got unplugged to fit something else.
If there’s a digital clock in view I’ll usually glance at that because my hands are busy. I frequently check the clock on my computer at work despite my phone being on the charging pad just below it and my smart watch on my wrist. At home I have a digital time read out on my microwave and a smart display showing digital time on my night stand. The only time I look at them is in the morning because I barely leave the house on time and my hands are occupied in both rooms when I need to check my pace.
I have a Lenovo smart display (the small one) on my bedside table, and it’s brilliant. I don’t really use the smart features much but it’s nice to just be able to tell it to set an alarm. It means my phone is free for watching YouTube or whatever in bed. Love that it is internet connected and always accurate.
What I really want is a smart ‘analog’ clock for the living room that isn’t the Amazon one. Have a large Lenovo smart display in the living room but I want something wall mountable that is visible from more directions.
I have no desire for a phone stand
