| 39 of 39 people found the following review helpful  Durable clock with many options, By = Durability: = Fun: = Educational: This review is from: Saitek Mephisto Competition Chess Clock (Video Game) My friends and I get into some pretty heated chess games, with weighted pieces -- and there's little more satisfying (at the chessboard, at least) than smashing your clock button with one of your opponent's major pieces. We do this quite a bit. Sad, isn't it?Nevertheless, the clock's a trooper; and is probably the most solidly-built chess clock I've ever seen. Operationally, it has several options that are simple to navigate and set, rubber stoppers on the bottom that keep it from sliding on the table, and even small disco lights on the toggle button to indicate whose turn it is. Delivery was quick and painless, even to an overseas address. If I had to dig for a complaint, though, it would be in the settings. Holding the clock's LCD face up to the light at an angle shows that there is an LCD element that reads "Fischer" -- though the clock itself has no Fischer (adding time after a move) option. Lastly (and this is minor), the clock uses a "C" battery vice the usual "AA." 23 of 23 people found the following review helpful great price for a good clock, By Fairthought "fairthought" (Colorado, USA) - See all my reviews = Durability: Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Saitek Mephisto Competition Chess Clock (Video Game) I went looking for a lowest price chess clock I could find, having the opinion that most chess clocks were way overpriced. I decided on this one over mechanical clocks to avoid the annoying tick tock those models can make, especially the cheaper ones. At first I was dismayed by the battery it uses, a more expensive C battery instead of the more common AA/AAA batteries, but as soon as I started using it I loved this clock. Its sturdy, with a wide base so slapping the buttons won't knock it over. Programming the clock is not intuitive, it took me some tinkering before I figured out how to adjust times and get the fisher clock setting. There are also instructions for those who can't figure it out. A green light indicates whose turn it is, a red light indicates who ran out of time. There is also a buzzer, you can toggle these on or off, or choose both. 24 of 25 people found the following review helpful Solidly built, lots of options, works great., By kbarj (San Antonio, Texas) - See all my reviews = Durability: This review is from: Saitek Mephisto Competition Chess Clock (Video Game) After trying several other timers, this has become the timer of choice for our high school's chess club. The convenience of digital timing over analog is the first plus. The quality of construction is the second, as they have endured two years of high school and middle school competitions. And finally, the ease of use combined with the functionality make this timer a winner.Edit: May 18, 2011 - All of the timers we purchased for the chess club are still working great. Not one failure in over 4 years of use now. |
