This just does not look appealing to me. It&#x27;s ugly, too large, and it stands out in a way that contrasts badly with one&#x27;s attire. It&#x27;s nice that Amazon is trying alternatives to watches but this does not look like a winner to me.<p>I have an Apple Watch and can&#x27;t imagine anyone who has one also getting an Echo Loop or replacing their watch for an Echo Loop. If people don&#x27;t want to fidget for their phone for mundane tasks I think they&#x27;ll go for a watch instead of a ring. My watch has cellular so most times when I leave my house I don&#x27;t carry a phone with me. There are no advantages to the Echo Loop over a watch save cost and the cost savings isn&#x27;t anywhere near enough in my opinion to entice people to get an Echo Loop.
