I recently played in a tournament and these clocks were supplied. I was generous giving it three stars if only i could guve it 2.5.

the first problem was the seconds were hard to read when you had above ten minutes on your clock I hate it when they do this (maybe i'm just a time stinge :)).

and second of all was the buttons it was to easy to press the button only half way which pauses the clock. i wouldn't rccomend this as a chess clock to many people unless you are playing blitz.

I'm a relative chess newbie and this is the first clock I've worked with - but I found one through Amazon for under $30, and I think it's great. Very configurable - I can set it up to play with my kiddos, giving them more time than I get myself as a handicap.

A cheap, entry level clock thats a fraction of the price of a chronos. Plenty of features and quite usable, but still, you get what you pay for.

The biggest issue is that this clock is just flimsy. Don't expect this clock to last a lifetime, it has a good chance of breaking.

Second, the plungers are awkward and long. You have to smack it a unusually hard (not a good thing combined with the clocks flimsiness) to guarantee the plunger will go all the way down.

Despite these cons I would still recommend buying this as a first chess clock, if you aren't sure if you want to spring for a chronos. Thats the point of "entry level" equipment, you try something cheap out before you commit to buying something expensive.

After working with the clock for about 6 months I found its not very durable but,if youre looking for a clock for an adult thats relatively cheap this is it.
