As advertised. It lacks a restart timer mode for each turn though. A good product overall. Very sturdy with many options.

ChessCentral's Timekeeper quartz clock is *beyond* just an "amazing value"; at the price they're asking, you'll feel like you stole it. This clock is even better than the similarly styled quartz analog model I bought twenty years ago at more than three times the price!

Several chess pieces were chipped. Chess clock buttons overly noisy, make a loud snapping noise. A plus is an "off" switch so you don't have to worry about the buttons being in "neutral". Board was better than expected, soft vinyl. Carry bag is inferior to the Excalibur.

Excalibur Game Time II Digital Chess Clock Review

Excalibur Game Time II Digital Chess Clock
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
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.

Royal Crest Analog Chess Clock/Timer by Wood Expressions Review

Very rarely do I "review" a product but felt compelled to because of how satisfied I have been with this one. I bought this chess clock for my younger nephew who has just started playing chess competitively. He absolutely loves it! He especially likes the "cool" chess crest design on the face of it; he feels like his is so much more unique than any of his other friend's clocks. I have been searching online everywhere to find the perfect one & this was by far the best one...and one of the most reasonably priced to boot!

Excalibur Game Time II Chess Clock Review

Excalibur Game Time II Chess Clock
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Excalibur is a company that is known for making high quality chess gear. This small clock has all the functions you will need and it is the official clock of the U.S. Chess Federation. This certainly adds to it's marketing appeal, but also to the price for what you get.
Some of the plus features of the clock are a time delay for between moves that gives you a little time to get to your button, a large button to push that is easy to find in the heat of the moment and many presets for various types of game conditions. It's small size also allows it to fit well into a small bag or Excalibur's excellent canvas bag, triple weight chess piece and vinyl board combination. (This other product is excellent and an extremely good value.)
While I think this is an excellent clock, it is rather cheap looking and doesn't seem very rugged. The first one I bought had some loose parts inside and I had to return it. I don't know if this is a reflection on quality assurance, manufactoring or just a fluke, but I saw a lot of other clocks that seemed more rugged for about the same amount of money.
Why I personally chose this clock is because of Excalibur's reputation for high quality chess electronics, it's small size, the large buttons, the time delay between moves and the fact that is fits exactly into the compartment of my chess travel case. I rated it a 4 because I think it's overpriced for what it is. If it's not important to have the official clock of the UCSF and you don't play fast games, then you may want to look at what other products are available.

ChessCentral Timekeeper Chess Clock and Game Timer Review

ChessCentral Timekeeper Chess Clock and Game Timer
Average Reviews:

This is an adequate timer, and it does its job. There were just a few things which I found disappointing. First of all, it is larger than I was expecting: 4 inches by 7 inches by 2 inches. Second, the sound made when pressing the buttons to switch the timers is not very pleasant; it is a pretty loud and plastic-sounding snap. Thirdly, if you press the buttons halfway down, instead of causing both clocks to stop (which is useful for rules challenges, for example), it causes both clocks to run -- not very useful! You have to flip the power switch on the back off to stop both clocks.
That being said, it is a reasonable clock for amateur use, and the seller was great: very prompt shipment (I placed my order on Sunday and received the product on Wednesday), and they even threw in a battery for free.
