Just wanted to let you know, this clock is enormous. It's the biggest chess clock I've ever seen. One reviewer pointed out that the well for the battery is deap, and she's right--Marianas Trench deap--but I was able to pull out the battery easily enough. It will fit into many of the oversized chess bags running around today, but then again, so will a mid-sized Buick. Seriously, this is a great clock. It works well. It's easy to read (from 500 yards because it's so freakishly large) and it's easy to set and operate. Overall, I'm very pleased.

My husband has been talking about getting a chess clock for quite a while now, so I surprised him with one for our anniversary. He was thrilled and we immediately put it to use. It is easy to operate and works great. Although, I lost I recommend buying this if you're into chess or want to get one for the avid chess player in your life. It's well worth it!

I found the negatve comments about the sweep second hand groundless. The flag is the arbitrarator on when the time is out. When playing a long game, the position of the sweep second hand is meaningless. In a speed game, you can eyeball where the minute hand should start, and in a 2, 3, 5, or 10 minute game (for example) the clock is just fine, using the flag as when the time runs out. Overall, the clock seems just fine. Functions like the model (without the sweep second hand, but the same overall) commonly sold 30ish years ago. Seems reliable. Has the stops to prevent the clock from running. Many hours of time on an AA battery. You can buy more expensive digital clocks (including MUCH more expensive clocks). And yet for the casual player who enjoys speed chess, this version is just fine.

I like the flag when you're playing speed ..,.makes the game more exciting . This clock seems to be as good as if not better than the ones you used to get from USCF magazine.

Why are chess clocks so expensive? They look like alarm clocks and function like stop watches, both of which are vastly cheaper. I don't get it. There seems to be enough competition, ie enough market pressure to lower the price. Anyway, this clock is somehow the least expensive at around $30. It works OK, thus the three stars. The battery compartment is on the back and opens sorta easily, so if you hit the buttons too hard during play the compartment will pop open and battery will fly out like a projectile! Lol! It was actually pretty funny, but this can be remedied with a piece of tape so it doesn't screw up your game. This particular clock has no aural indicator that the time is up, so you have to just look at it and notice when the little red flipper thing has dropped down. This confused my girlfriend and she ended up losing because of it (she usually beats me ;)

This clock makes for a nice centerpiece.

Muy bueno, resistente.

Exactement ce que je voulais. Marche parfaitement bien.

Works as intended.

Good value product. Nothing fancy. Arrived undamaged.

great product

I bought this clock for a local school. The clock is good value for the money and I would recommend it. My rating of this clock is in comparison to two other clocks I own, one of which in fairness costs considerably more money. You get what you pay for, but I would buy this again because it really is very good value. The hands are large and easy to read, its battery powered so no winding mechanism to fail. It seems a tad fragile and likely wouldn't survive too many falls or rough treatment, and the buttons have poor tactile feel and must be deliberately pressed at times to ensure that they have engaged. A worthwhile product for schools or clubs on a budget (which is almost every one I know).
