Looks like Officeworks are clearing out their Lenovo clock stuff. Normally $59 recently. JB has brought their down to $49 on clearance too so OW seems to be the pick. Also on clearance:

Smart Clock 2 Grey $59 was $79
Smart Clock 2 with Wireless Charging $79 was $99

Seems to be plenty of stock around the country. All have Google Assisstant functionality and can play music through Assisstant supported service but I don’t believe any have Google Home control or video display functions despite the screens.

    Does it constantly display the time or does it dim or go off til you ask it?

    • bbqandbargains on 21/04/2022 - 20:05

      Has a light sensor to dim according to conditions, just like your phone. Auto night mode is very good for beside clocks.

    • TheRealCJ on 21/04/2022 - 20:24

      Constant display. It's a simple segmented LCD like you'd find on a normal digital clock.

      In essence it's pretty much a Google Nest mini taped to a cheap bedside clock, with a few extra bits like a very basic weather display and no need to set the time manually. For 40 bucks you can't go wrong.

      “Hey google, turn the clock display off”. You can also dim it by x%, where x is a number between 0 and 100.

              @Seraphin7: negative dimming - the backlight essentially inverts and you can read the digits only because of the light around them, not because the digits themselves are illuminated.

              • shmahoo on 06/05/2022 - 13:55

      Is the screen really 4"? That seems a little small to me (no double entendres intended).

      • kulprit on 22/04/2022 - 09:10

        Yes the screens are very small. But suitable for a clock. No problems with ours being too bright at night, and we have them on the middle dim setting

    • DreadedWasabi on 21/04/2022 - 20:40

      You can pair this as a bluetooth speaker in Google Home so you should be able to play anything

      There's a night mode which lets you manually set the brightness and volume at night

    • RickyJ on 21/04/2022 - 20:55
      +2

      If it has Google Assistant then yes. "Hey Google, ask Help Me Sleep to play brown noise for 10 hours"

      You can also setup a "routine" on Google Home app so that you can say something short and easy like "hey Google, sleep time"

      • Pbm33 on 21/04/2022 - 21:05

        It does have Google Assistant. So could I say a command to get it to play white noise for 12 hours without any ads?

        • RickyJ on 21/04/2022 - 21:18

          The last time I checked that particular "Help Me Sleep" app, 10 hours was the maximum of unlooped audio available. It's a shame that it doesn't offer 12 hours because that would have been perfect for me a few months ago.

      • Tiggrrrrr on 22/04/2022 - 23:17

    • freelipe on 21/04/2022 - 23:12

      I've got the first Gen Lenovo clock, for my kid I use "play ocean sounds for X hours" and it pumps it out for that amount of time. I don't get any ads on that. You can try it out on your phone first if you have Google assistant and see if it works for you. Also, " play fan sounds for X hours" is pretty good

      Fair enough, but it is also literally double the price.

      If you are just after a smart bedside clock, the only bonus you are getting is a wireless charging dock for $40.

      What I like about the essential model is that it isn't really trying to be or do anything more than the modern version of a basic bedside clock/radio.

    This clock sucks. The 'dim' setting for the screen is still too bright at night, especially since it's stuck on white only. Also some parts of the LED have failed so the time isn't legible. This all happened within the first 2 months of use.
