Good progress with clocks in Pittsburgh

In Response To: Good progress with clocks in Pittsburgh (Chuck Bower)

After using both clocks (GameTime II and DGT 960), I believe that the DGT 960 is better in only three categories: size, setting ease, and battery. The GameTime II is certainly clearer, the buttons are better for those who want to aggressively punch the clock (you can't actually "hit" the DGT 960), and it seems better regarding playability.

But size and setting ease are critical in winning over the masses who aren't good with reading instruction books and who don't want to carry both a board and clock to the tournament. I left my DGT 960 in my board and at only 5 ounces, it was never a problem.

So I wouldn't say that I was "talking up" the clock at the tournament. I have no monetary interest in it. (Excluding the size and setting issues, I think the Chronos clocks play best of all.) But I do believe it is an excellent option for those that desire portability and ease of setting.
