Excalibur Game Time II Digital Chess Clock Review

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.

Excalibur Game Time II Chess Clock Review

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.
