Highlights:
Alexa, the brain behind Echo Spot, is built in the cloud, so it is always getting smarter. Using Alexa is as simple as asking a question – just ask and Alexa will respond instantly.
Alexa calling and messaging—
A new way to be together with family and friends. You can make hands-free video calls to friends and family who have an Echo Spot or the Alexa App on supported smartphones.

Enable “Drop In” in the Alexa app when you want to instantly connect with other Echo devices in your home, or your closest family and friends.
Access a Huge Library of Music with your voice:
Alexa plays music from services like Amazon Prime Music, Saavn, and TuneIn on your Echo Spot. Just ask for your favorite artist or song, or request a specific genre or mood. Prime members can access Amazon Prime Music and listen to their favorite playlist. You can also search for music by album, decade, or let Alexa pick the music for you.

Three cons which I feel for the device are:
- The speaker has an average sound quality,
- The screen is too tiny just like a regular small watch,
- The price could be a little cheaper…
