The Smart Clock is purely a clock with the added Google Assistant functionality. For those who had hoped they could set this on their desk at work as a smaller option to a Smart Display, that’s not a possibility.
This is why the clock may be a tough sell. Sadly, the Smart Clock is not capable of video playback, such as casting things from Netflix and YouTube.

With it, you can get weather info, setup Routines, get traffic information, plus all of that other jazz. Past that, the Smart Clock does have Google Assistant, along with all of the features you expect from it. It does that very well, but I did find it funny that there are only six alarm tones to choose from. The main point of it is to be an alarm clock and sit on your nightstand by the bed. Overall, the hardware is very nice and reminds me very much of hardware from Google. Beneath the cloth is the speaker, which surprisingly sounds pretty good for its size and gets plenty deep with bass. On the top of the clock, along with its cloth exterior are two volume buttons.
On the backside there is the power port, a mic on/off switch, and a USB 2.0 charging port. When laying in bed, it’s just the right size to reach over and control when editing alarms. You may think swiping on such a small screen might be a pain, but for me, I think the size of the Smart Clock is ideal. Navigating the UI is much like a larger Smart Display from any number of manufacturers, with swipes from the sides, top, and bottom of the display being the method for getting to the different features. The Smart Clock is rather small, featuring a 4″ IPS touchscreen display. If you’re okay with that, then let’s dive a bit deeper, shall we? All this device does is show you the time, play music, provide info via Assistant, and that’s about it. It’s not a smaller option to the Google Nest Hub or even a competitor to Amazon’s new Echo Show 5. This is a clock that features Google Assistant - nothing more. 2019 is awesome! After waiting months for Lenovo to release the Smart Clock since its unveiling at CES this past January, the time has come! Priced at just $79, there isn’t a lot you need to know about this little device, though, I can tell you what not to expect from it.
