Fuck Amazon, fuck Alexa.

But that wall clock is glorious. It's a decently look clock, but seeing how much time you have left on multiple timers with a single glance is so incredibly useful. Especially when you're cooking.

I'm currently in the process of migrating away from the shit Alexa ecosystem, but no matter what I end up with, I'll have to find an alternative for this clock

I just use my Google Home Max for timers, it'll display three timers at once on the screen and I can get the status of any or all with voice at any point. Plus it'll do all the usual assistant stuff of conversions, cooking temperatures, and has a big enough screen for me to read recipes or follow along with a recipe video. Bonus feature is that its a reasonable loud speaker as well so I do not need a separate radio in the kitchen.

Sure its not as pretty as the clock but its a whole lot more useful for cooking.
