## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This "clock" is a no brainer.
*by J***O on June 25, 2025*

I put clock in quotes as it is a dock for your smartphone that runs a companion app that does the actual time keeping etc. It is so much easier to set options for than a more traditional digital clock and looks amazing as well. If you are worried about using your current phone as a chess clock you can definitely make use of an old device in your sock drawer. I can't recommend this enough and the support I got from the inventor himself answering my questions about the app was incredible. The dock easily fits in my backgammon board when not in use.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Really happy with this purchase!
*by G***C on May 12, 2022*

I wanted a new chess clock and was drawn to this one mainly because of the new way to setup/change time-controls. As a casual but avid blitz chess player, my biggest pet peeve with other digital clocks is setting time-controls: I have had a few over the years (and tried many others belonging to friends) and each one could be counted on as being entirely counter-intuitive. I would end up playing the same time-control even when I wanted to change it, just because I didn’t want to go through the torture of setting it and risking messing up the existing one when the multi-page manual is not at hand.One other thing (something that should be so obvious!) but I love that there is a Replay button at the end of the game: one click and you’re ready to play with your last settings (for some reason my old clock was about 5 clicks and a reboot to do something that obvious- so strange!)Well, this clock solves that nicely: Setting up a time-control is as simple as swiping a settings wheel (we’re all familiar with that I’m sure). Just takes at most 5 seconds, no matter what you’re setting up for. Their claim is true: There’s literally no need for a user manual. I only play chess, but I can see how setting up time-controls for Scrabble, Go, Backgammon, etc. would be just as easy.I had a chance to play quite a few blitz games with friends and I have to say I am impressed by both the simplicity and the looks of this thing. I have an iPhone 12, but I downloaded the app on my old iPhone 6 too and it fits just as well, with or without a protective phone cover.The clock base (I paid a bit extra for the deluxe) is sturdy and refined. The clock face looks awesome. There is even “tournament mode”, which disables all other phone functions while the clock is in use. The whole thing… just works on every level.Having used this clock for a couple of weeks now, I feel very comfortable saying that this was money well spent. Feels like the game clock for the 21st century and I don’t think I’ll ever go back to the “traditional” digital clock. I’ll try to report back after a few months of use, but so far I’m very happy with my purchase. Very high quality.

### ⭐ Not a clock!
*by M***C on July 12, 2024*

something about how this item was marketed made me think it was a clock. It is not a clock. It is a docking station. The video doesn't show that you use your own cell phone, it never shows someone downloading the app and then attaching the cell phone to the docking station. They always just show the cell phone and the docking station together, making it look like a clock. For $85 which is the price after tax and shipping, I want a real clock.
