Too expensive for what is it but if you have the cash to spend its by far the coolest clock I've owned
Pros
-Highly Customizable
-Shows you information you would otherwise look at your phone for ie weather, stocks, etc
-Has IFTTT integration (I set my clock to scroll my sms messages when I receive them)
-Cool display piece \ conversation starter
Cons
-The bluetooth speaker is meh but its more of icing on the cake
-Display can be "fuzzy" to some but I think its fine
-Wifi connection occasionally cuts out (could probably be fixed with a firmware upgrade in the future)
*Note the picture I attached is a little over exposed and is more clear in person
It's pretty cool, although the app store is pretty paltry. I developed my own app and was a bit disappointed with the flexibility of the platform - you basically have to write your own webapp for the end user if you want to allow them to customize it (no way to provide a webview or something for app configuration where I could allow the user to OAuth themselves into a service). I was not impressed with many of the other applications on the platform - many of them seem out-of-date or broken.
I saw this product in many youtube videos so I decided to order it right away, upon figuring out where to buy it I found out it was $199 which I would have guessed half that amount. But it seemed cool enough to spend the money on so I went for it. Once it arrived I couldn’t resist waiting for Christmas so I busted the box open and began playing with it, it’s truly a cool product but the app which sets up how it works is somewhat poor. For them to sell a product this cool I would expect a better app experience, it seems as if a lot of outside developers are what is making the different applications not exactly LaMetric them selfs. Love to see what the future holds maybe the second generation of this product will be worth it or maybe worth $99.95 lol
It's a great smart clock. I don't agree with the price, let's get that out of the way. It's definitely overpriced for what you get. However, if you have the budget then it's really a cool device. It's nice to have the ability to customize the clock faces, and apps within Lametric. The instagram app is a pain to setup, it works but it just is annoying. I think this needs to be priced around 149.99. The speakers are good but not mind blowing- Not that you need to get this clock for speakers anyway. I will say however, it's really fun to be working at your desk and watch it automatically flip through apps and show you youtube, instagram, time, etc updates.
Works as advertised and goes great in my living room. Lots of different apps make it fun to use but setting a scrolling speed would be a nice touch.

Great product! Wish you could add custom stock tickers. Someone please add that functionality!
It is good table watch. Most of all, the time is always accurate. I like it.
But I think it's little expensive. 99$ is appropriate.
Fun stuff!!
Love the headline News it shows and the weather out so I know what too expect!!
