3.0 out of 5 stars An adequate timer, leaves a little to be desired, May 9, 2007

This review is from: Timekeeper Chess Clock and Game Timer with On/Off Switch, Batteries Included (Toy)

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.

Works fine and is quite durable. My only regret is that I should have bought a digital instead. The flags don't drop on the minute, instead they just kind of hang up for anywhere from 15-45 seconds after the time is up.

To begin with, this clock did not work when I received it. This is a huge complaint, but the only one. Return was easy, and once you get one that works, this is a great clock. Action is crisp, and it is simple to use.
