I’ve watched all the hubbub around Alexa since it first came out, but I never pulled the trigger and picked one up for myself. I know people that own them and they have nothing but praise for the device. It’s an intriguing proposition, but I’m still not sure if it’s something I’d use everyday or if it would be more of a novelty item.
Amazon is making a big push into the home market with Alexa, partnering with other manufacturers, which is a really smart move. The more I look at Alexa, the more I want to try it out, but I’ll still on the fence.
Have you considered this?

Not interested. Redundant.
Why would I need a device that is stationary in one room of my house when I already have the exact same functionality everywhere with me? I just by lift my wrist and talk to my watch. I don’t get it. I use Hey Siri with my watch constantly and it’s awesome.
Precisely why I don’t have ‘Hey Siri’ enabled. I can press a button on my phone or my watch.
