Tsp and Touch clock with dual displays?

I am curious what people think of this new clock.  Not sure why I would want a clock with dual displays.  I could see how it might be good for tournaments but not for personal use.

Thoughts?

Sorry, totally screwed up the title. Couldn't figure out how to edit the title. Supposed to be Tap and Set.

Hi @lasertswift - cheers for the post - bummer about the title. Firstly a caveat - I’ve got no real idea about digital chess clocks; I have Garde and BHB analog clocks only.
So here’s some superficial thoughts:
I play at a pub with friends sometimes - often strangers come say hi and check out the game. I can imagine this clock working in that environment as they could see the time whenever they stand - beer in hand.
I like the industrial aesthetic of this clock - it looks robust and for my taste, more stylish than some plastic clocks.

I bought the first tap and touch clock when they came out with it.

I will give you that it is nice to put the settings on your phone and have them transferred to the clock. To me this is a novelty that I am not very impressed with.

Now they came out with this dual display version. I have no use for this one either.

The clock I use the most is the DGT 2500. The display is great and the clock is easy to set and use. After that I use the VTek-300, then the Chronos models.

This dual display is more for spectators in a club setting or for a tournament.
