Summary: Many features - we like it
Comment: This digital chess clock is way better than the analog ones in many many ways. My son likes it very much. I am giving 4 stars because I am thinking the buttons that get hits several times by the kids are not very strong.... however, I highly recommed this clock.

Summary: Great deal, nicec item... clock works owesome
Comment: Also this digital clock works with scrabble and chess, there are more than 90 Preset mode. and you can set all you want.
I bought this clock, for chess games, the plastic is thin, you must be very careful to handle this item, but Sometimes i felt off and the clock still working.
A friend for three years used this clock for bliz game and the clock still works, the bottoms are great and resist bliz hitting, and i can not see any failure, but even that this clock was not maden for bliz. Thanks for my friend's clock i decided to buy it. I don't regret anithing.
Great deal, owesome item, if you want it, do not be upset, nice product

Summary: Good chess timer
Comment: I wanted a decent chess timer for playing in tournaments and this one i bought from Amazon serves my purpose well.
Its approved by USCF and everyone at the tournaments knew how to use it (so they taught me how to use it since i was new to it)
Good buy.

Summary: Best Digital Design
Comment: In my opinion, this is the best digital clock design on the market and, fortuitously, among the most affordable. It's low profile, large buttons and large display make it ideal for effortless tournament play.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Inexpensive and easy to use, but flimsy with awkward buttons
Comment: There is a lot to like about an Excalibur chess clock: it is inexpensive, it has lots of functions, and it is very easy to learn how to use it.
First off, the price: you can buy three of these clocks for the price of a Chronos, but then you get what you pay for. Most of the guys in my chess club have Chronos clocks and I also have two that I have had for years. Yet, I have never even heard of a Chronos clock that failed. These Excalibur clocks, on the other hand, definitely have a limited lifespan.
A lot of players start out with an Excalibur clock, but sooner or later the clock breaks down and then they buy a different kind of clock.
Personally, my main peeve with the Excalibur is that I really dislike the buttons on it. The problem is that the button movement is not completely smooth and therefore it is possible to hit a button in such a way that it does not go down all the way and then you have to hit it again (this is extremely annoying when you are playing blitz). Other than the buttons, the problem is that these clocks are flimsy and do not take well to jostling.
Still, if you just want a clock for occasional use, and if you are looking for something cheap and functional, this clock is your best bet.
