Another new entry in CHESS CLOCKS

This one took my by surprise today as I was looking at an email a chess vendor sent me of their new web site. I opened it up and wow was I surprised on what I saw. A digital BHB chess clock!!! Anyone have one to give us all a review?   If $99 is the retail I am sure you can buy it for about $79 when places offer discounts.

Just looking on Amazon you can now buy a DGT N/A for $37.41 and free shipping which makes that clock a "best buy" for its price category IMHO.

Thanks for posting the info Mike.! BHB was The Clock in its day. I don't know about how dependable the New BHB Digital will pan out.? The DGT N/A is a steal at that price.!

Has anyone found a detailed spec sheet on this BHB digital clock? I can't find one. At $100, it up against some stiff competition.

Now if Garde made their digital clocks once again, but their price got so high of their so called deluxe model I guess they stopped making all of them.

I see it has a similar display as the DGT N/A that is not showing seconds when time is greater than 20 minutes. That is the only thing I do not like about the DGT N/A and this BHB has the same. I don't think it will go over very big, just my opinion.

Bumping it up to see if anyone bought this yet.  BHB was always a good name.

Mike, this timer has actually been around for years.  I've never, ever, seen it reviewed anywhere.  Like you, I'm curious about it.  A lot of vendors used to carry it but sales must have been slow because it's now hard to find.  In fact, I'm surprised to learn it's still available!

Edit: Here it is on an archived 2010 page (The Chess Store):

But I think it was at least a few years old even in 2010.  Wonder why it never caught on?

Thanks, at least it is no longer a mystery, did not know it was at least 5 years old.
