For instance Saitek had 2 digital models that were as good or better than the DGT clocks in their time.
Also the Excalibur clocks were provably better than the DGT clocks that were their contemporaries.
Ok, now you've lost all credibillity. You're just trolling now. Saitek and Excalibur can't touch DGT. You do realize that DGT have been making chess clocks for over 35 years right?
And your Chronos is about as advanced as a DGT chess clock from the 80's. They failed to innovate and that's why they went out of bussiness. And I'm talking about real useful innovation, not gimmicky touch sensors that do absolutely nothing to improve chess competitions. They were basically still making the same clock as DGT did in the 80's.
Chronos chess clock breaks down quickly and after a while of using it starts making this ding dang sound which is very distractive and annoying. Professional chess players in professional tournaments use only DGT chess clocks and no other chess clock is not even allowed. I have worked on every type of chess clock and only DGT is good enough. That is also the reason why Fide who knows best uses only DGT.
The metal buttons on chronos become rusty from inside after a while. It is not meant for professional chess, the reason why it is never used in any proper tournaments. It is also long and does not provide a good vision, some people have compared chronos clock to buses from 1960s.
Wow, this is totally false!
The buttons never ever rust. I have one Chronos since 2002, yes over 16 years old. This is the clock I use for blitz and skittles in places we were eating and a lot more. It still runs perfectly.
This garbage about rust is totally made up and false.
I can recommend Dgt 2010. A good clock for casual chess players ...
