Want To Know The Time, With My Eyes Shut

[joko]

i am looking for something that will tell me the time, audibly, and be activated prefereably by a voice command, but by touch if nothing else.
i want to keep it by the bed. i dont like open my eyes to look because it wakes me up too much and i have trouble getting back to sleep

i have an samsung/android phone, and a dell PC on win 10

so either an app, or an actual gadget i can purchase that does this

i did have one that you just touched the top button and it told me the time, but it also insisted on announcing the time every hour too - it was a really old cheap thing

any ideas - dont want anything expensive

thanks

amazon echo, just ask alexa

Does your Samsung have Bixby?

As already said, an amazon echo; or a google home mini.

As has been suggested, the Amazon Echo Dot would meet your needs:

I watch hardly any telly but even I've seen this ad:

You could ask Siri, if you’ve got Apple. Although that feels a bit old-fashioned now. The world seems to have moved on a bit without me.

This would appear a cheaper solution than those offered so far:-

If opening your eyes "wakes you up too much", won't giving a voice command and listening to the response wake you up just as much?
I think it would wake me up more.

[Hymie]

With the above ebay item, you only need press the clock top button for it to announce the time.

[joko]

thanks all, yes, not paying all that and then a monthly fee on top just to know the time, lol

and no, sound doesnt wake you up as much, its light in the eyes that wakes you most.

and hymie, thats great, thats what i need, i did look but didnt find this type.

They are known as a spouse.
But might prove too expensive.

USP "All buttton designed to be hidden and unattractive" !

I recently bought a radio controlled talking watch from Easylife Group for £30 - just press a side button and the time is clearly stated. With the radio control there is no hassle with time changes and it can be worn on the wrist or kept under your pillow. Works very well for me.

"With the above ebay item, you only need press the clock top button for it to announce the time."

Does it announce the time? Looks to me like it just projects time & temp display visually.

[jocon]

Just to clarify my answer - there is no need to actually see the watch face - when you press the button a voice clearly enunciates the correct time am or pm.

My mobile phone speaks the time, if I set it to. Does yours have that option?
