Overview
Skylight's 15-inch Calendar 2 is now available for $249.99 at Amazon and Walmart, a $50 discount from its regular $299.99 price. This is the lowest price the device has reached to date, undercutting even last week's Mother's Day promotion by $10. The deal applies to the 15-inch model only; Skylight also sells an 11-inch version, which is not on sale.
What it does
The Calendar 2 is a dedicated smart display that syncs with multiple calendar services — Google Calendar, Apple iCloud, Microsoft Outlook, Yahoo, and Cozi — into a single, color-coded shared view. Each household member can be assigned a distinct color, making it easy to see who has what scheduled. The device supports two-way syncing: events added on the touchscreen appear in the connected calendar apps, and vice versa.
Beyond calendars, the device can manage shared chore charts, grocery lists, and to-do lists, either directly on the 15-inch touchscreen or through the companion mobile app for Android and iOS. It also displays weather forecasts tied to scheduled events.
Hardware and design
The Calendar 2 improves on the original with a brighter 600-nit display, faster performance, and a slimmer profile. It comes with swappable magnetic frames that can be changed in seconds. The device can be wall-mounted or placed on a counter using the included adjustable stand. When not actively used as a calendar, it can function as a digital photo frame.
Subscription features
A free tier covers basic calendar and list sync. The optional Calendar Plus subscription (pricing not specified in the source) adds:
- Email forwarding, PDF upload, and photo-to-event conversion
- Meal planning for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks
- Chore assignment with reward tracking for kids
- Screensaver mode for photo display
Tradeoffs
The device is a single-purpose tool: it does not run general apps, browse the web, or stream video. Its value depends on whether your household actively uses shared calendars. The subscription adds useful features but is not required for core functionality.
Bottom line
At $249.99, the Skylight Calendar 2 is a rare discount in the smart-home display category. For families already juggling multiple digital calendars, it offers a practical, always-on shared dashboard that reduces friction around scheduling and task management.
