DGT 3000 Chess & Game Clock

I really do like it, and I was looking forward to have it. The clock has all the preset modes one could want, along with several custom settings. The lever mechanism feels precise and firm. The display is large and shows seconds all the time. Although the body is made of plastic, it does not feel flimsy or cheap.I paid a economy shippment, and took a while to have it, but very good value and excellent customer service as well.

（※当方の主な用途は将棋と二人用ボードゲームで、切れ負け、フィッシャー、秒読み以外はほとんど使っていないので、記述が間違っている可能性があります）対応ルールは切れ負け、フィッシャー（指定手数時に時間追加も可能）、ブロンシュタインディレイ、カナダ式秒読み、秒読み（考慮回数設定可能）、SCRABBLE、USディレイ（シンプルディレイ）。主要ルール24個がプリセット済みで、マニュアル設定も5個登録できます。マニュアル設定は記録され電源を入れ直しても前回の設定になります（プリセットもいじれるが電源入れ直しで元に戻る）。説明書は英仏独西露蘭語対応で日本語はありませんが、メーカーサイトで公開されている説明書PDFをGoogle翻訳すれば何とかなります。設定方法を説明している日本語サイトも僅かですがあります。また、YouTubeなどにも動画がアップされています。音声ON時、秒読みルールだと持ち時間が切れる10秒前にピッ、5秒前からピッピッ…ピーそして秒読み時間が切れる10秒前にピッ、5秒前からピッピッ…ピーと鳴ります。ルールを組み合わせることができます（全ての組み合わせを試したことはない）。例えば秒読みの場合、実際には持ち時間をTIME（切れ負け）で、加えて秒読み時間をBYO（秒読み）で設定して実現します。これがBYOだけだと持ち時間なし秒読みになります。他、細かいこととしては、ハンデ設定が可能（先手後手の時間が設定できる）。手数は先手と後手の手数が表示されます。将棋なら合計します。音声のON/OFFはできますが音量調節はありません。単三電池2本が付属しています。

This is a good clock to keep on hand for practice so you can get used to time controls for OTB. What I do is I play with my electronic chessboard that connects to my chess.com account and I play bots to simulate a real OTB timing experience, even though bot moves are instant, I still treat it the same with no timing odds. Just get used to making a move and clock in your move whether it's clock or touch move. The one thing that I was disappointed is that in ordering this it never came with the Art of War CD so I don't know if they trying to just pay only for the clock and not the CD or they forgot to include it? All that matters is that I have the most important tool in my chess career and that's the clock.

This is a nice clock. It is fairly easy to program and useMy only complaint concerns the pre-programmed settings. When I was considering which clock to buy, I was impressed by the large number of pre-programmed settings. I did not realize that there are several different ways of adding time. In the USA, there is a 5-second count down before the clock starts. There are two slightly different ways of doing this pre-count so many of the settings are not suited to Tournaments in the US. In addition, the default for quite a few programs is a "freeze" ending for the end of the game. I would prefer the "freeze" but it is not standard for USCF. You can program around these problems, but it is an inconvenience.
