Looks good. works well.

I have purchased quite a few of these clocks for our local chess club. They are sturdy, easy to set, and they have both delay and increment functions. They are suitable for tournament play if the event has a single time control.The only downside has been that they do not always last a long time. Some of my clocks have stopped working. They are inexpensive enough that I just buy new ones when this happens.

I have never used a timer before, but this one has added another dimension to the game. Everything seems to work fantastic about the timer.

I didn't use this for chess and just wanted two timers to count up alternatively and reset when I pressed a button. There is no timer reset button but it's easy to hack, I soldered a wire from the active-high reset signal test pad to the plus button test pad so pressing the plus button resets the timer. I didn't need the functionality of the plus button anyway.This way you can hit start, it begins counting, you can use the toggle switch on the top to switch timers as needed, and eventually you can hit the plus button to reset it without having to flip the power switch on the bottom.Note for anyone else wanting to hack this thing it uses a glob-top microcontroller that also drives the display which limits your options. You do have easy access to the reed switch for the top toggle button, the three pushbuttons, the power switch and the battery though. But driving the display would take some serious modifications.

Good touch sensitivity for the players.

Item worked perfectly for 40k matches

My son loves the clock. One problem I found is once I set it for G/25 but wanted to switch to G/30, the clock wouldn’t remember the new timing until I reinstall the battery. FYI. Otherwise it’s a very good value.
