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.
