Digital Chess Clock Review
In this article i'm going to list off the digital chess clocks that are worth buying, i'm going to give you the facts, the features, and the figures, and let you decide which one is best for you. These digital chess clocks are going to be the cream of the crop, for their categories.
The DGT 2010 digital chess clock is on of the best professional chess clocks made. The DGT 1020 digital chess clock is real easy to operate as far as chess clocks go. It's small enough to travel around with and the DGT 1020 digital chess clock is power conserving, it can run a really long time on the same batteries. For a professional digital chess clock, go with the DGT Easy.
Chronos digital chess clocks are by far the strongest digital chess clocks made, they all come in a steel housing that protects the Chronos Digital chess timer like armor. That said, the Chronos digital chess clock is also a joy to use, all the modes ever invented for chess come programmed into the clock, each setting is fully adjustable, and you can have pre-programmed time so you don't have to re-set the time after you play a game. It's crazy all the things you can program the Chronos chess timer to do, you can even program in different sounds it can make! Chronos digital chess clocks come in two styles, button, and touch sensor. Kids like the button Chronos clock better because they like to slam a chess piece down on the clock after they capture it. Adults like the sensor Chronos clock better because it makes less noise.
Chronos Blitz digital chess timers are almost just the same as the original Chronos chess clock, they just come smaller/lighter, and pre-programmed with blitz modes and times. Just like to original Chronos chess timer, the Blitz Chronos digital chess clock is fully programmable.
Dueltimer Champion digital chess clock is the most beautiful chess clock I have ever seen, it is made out of walnut and the faceplate with the control buttons on it is made of shining metal. It looks really good next to the Drueke 21" walnut chess board. Looks good is one thing, but the Dueltimer Champion digital chess clock also works good, it comes with delay modes, and programmable time modes. I have used all of these digital chess clocks and i'm quite familiar with them, if you have any questions then post a comment and I will answer them.

Hi there, i was wondering if you have any experience with the MASTER TOURNAMENT DIGITAL CHESS SET GAME CLOCK TIMER C5:
http://cgi.ebay.com/MASTER-TOURNAMENT-DIGITAL-CHESS-SET-GAME-CLOCK-TIMER-C5_W0QQitemZ360123584395QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item360123584395&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2|65%3A15|39%3A1|240%3A1318
idk does branding mean a better product when buying chess clocks...and wondering if it is worth buying...?
That chess clock was a flop with most chess distributers, there are not many self respecting websites that sell that chess clock.
Reasons why: #1 the on and off buttons are located near the clock switch buttons.
#2 in order to play, you must put the clock into a locked mode, so as not to mess up playing configurations.
#3 It is not very usere freindly for setting modes of play, and there are not as many options
If you are looking for a cheap chess clock (price wise) get the Excalibur Game Time II.
On the DGT 2010, is it possible to program a Bronstein control with two (or more) time periods? For example 40/2; SD/1 with a 5-sec delay from move 1. On my old DGT 2000, it is not possible, and I have to manually add in the second time control after move 40 has been reached during the game.
