Juggling my jam-packed schedule of briefings, pre-briefings, demos, and media events ahead of CES 2026 this week has been a feat of organization and sustained caffeine intake. My kingdom for a Calendar 2, the updated version of Skylight’s popular digital wall calendar.
The device made its debut at CES’ Pepcom showcase Tuesday night and fully launches in a matter of weeks.

The Skylight Calendar is a WiFi-connected calendar that can keep track of multiple family members’ schedules, to-do lists, and chores. Our reviewer tried and loved the larger Calendar Max model, which measures 27 inches across and features rounded corners. It even nabbed one of our coveted Mashable Choice Awards. “Once I got the Skylight Calendar, my life instantly felt more organized,” wrote Jae Thomas for Mashable.
A Skylight rep told me that the company decided to update the device based on a recurring tidbit of customer feedback: the calendar’s design should be more customizable because everybody’s home decor is different. The new 15-inch Calendar 2 has interchangeable magnetic frames and an adjustable tabletop stand that can tilt 180 degrees. It also sports the same rounded corners as the Calendar Max, whereas its 15-inch predecessor had squared-off corners. It’s 20 percent thinner, too.

This redesign also appears to address our reviewer’s biggest issue with the original Skylight Calendar, which was that its plastic frame didn’t fit on its screen when they were assembling it; they wound using it unframed. When I played around with the Calendar 2 at Pepcom, I was able to snap its frame on and off easily.
Skylight also gave the Calendar 2 a new processor that makes it three times faster than the older version. Additionally, its touchscreen is sharper, brighter, and more color-accurate.

A limited-edition Calendar 2 with a brass frame and six exclusive screensavers launched in December at Target as part of a collaboration with Joanna Gaines’ Hearth and Hand with Magnolia brand. It costs $339.99, but the standard version will retail for $299.99, the same price as the first-gen model. It’s set for an official release in February.
