Featuring multi-mode timing options including Fischer and Bronstein delays, it supports complex game formats and other board games like Go. Lightweight and durable, it runs on just 2 AA batteries with an impressive 7-year lifespan. Its intuitive presets and multi-colour display make it the go-to choice for serious chess players seeking precision and reliability. ## Description The DGT2010 was introduced in 2007 and received the status of "Official FIDE Chess Watch" in June 2008 after tests by four senior referees concluded that the watch was in full compliance with all FIDE rules and regulations. The DGT2010 is suitable for use with many games and has Japanese and Canadian Byo-yomi configuration for Go or Baduk game. Some features of the DGT2010 were changed in November 2010 to comply with popular timing systems. Review: Best clock - I own and have used both analog clocks and the USCF Game Time; I have used Chronos clocks in tournament play. The DGT 2010 is the best. Analogs, obviously, have no capacity for a delay (Bronstein) nor increment (Fischer) time controls; however, I do love the melodic ticking. The Chronos clocks are constructed well and the touch plate versions have a "coolness" factor. They are also capable of Bronstein and Fischer time controls. However, they have 3 buttons to control the entire setup, making it a bit cumbersome and tedious. For the price, the clock is not easy to setup, nor does it display enough information during the setup. The long Chronos clocks also take precious space away from players in cramped tournament tables. The soft touch plungers, and touch plate, make for smooth play. The USCF Game Time is a fine clock and at roughly the same price point as the DGT 2010. It's limitation is that it is only capable of Bronstein time controls. In addition, the Game Time requires 4 AA batteries. Setup is fairly easy, presenting enough information on-screen. One drawback is that the plungers are fairly loud, and people unaccustomed to using them stopping pressing down when they feel resistance and do not trip the opponent's timer. The DGT 2010 Clock runs on 2 AA batteries (DGT claims that it will run for 7 years on a pair of batteries), is Bronstein and Fischer time control capable, is light weight, but durable. Like the Chronos, when you push the button after completing a move, there is no doubt that you hit your clock; I have had opponents not press my Game Time plunger hard enough and only stopped the clock. Setup is easy and clear, though the instruction could be clarified more; unlike either the Game Time and Chronos, the DGT 2010 has abbreviated instructions on the underside. Reseting the clock for another game is as easy as on the Chronos: push the power button off and then back on; the Game Time requires you to hold the "button" - it is more of stick - down for 3 seconds and then turn it back on. Most importantly for a tournament chess player is that it is both USCF and FIDE legal. Review: Great clock, usable in USCF too - Just to clarify a few reviews that were a bit mistaken, I decided to write a few words in defense of the clock in USCF tournament play. This clock does not track moves via a move counter in the Sudden Death or as they call it ‘guillotine’ modes- instead, it continues until all of the time has run out in the first period-AND- when that happens, a large, unmistakable flag appears in the left hand side of your time counter. So it’s simple- if the flag is up, the first time period is over, and if the player who’s time has run out for the period has not made the required number of moves- they lost on time. I prefer this to a clock that has a counter-WHY?- because for one, the players are keeping score, moves are tracked in that way, and two, one or both players might forget to press the clock when they have moved, on occasion, and on a move tracking clock this creates a mini-crisis as you reach the time control and you are low on time, but the CLOCK thinks you are on move 27, but actually you are on move 29. At that point you have to interrupt the game to press the buttons to catch up to the actual move number so the clock turns over to second period at the right time instead of beeping and stopping with a declared loss. This has happened to me on move counter clocks a few times, and it’s distracting at a critical moment in the game- so avoid stupid move counter modes all together, go simple- go with this clock! ## Features - Ability to mix time controls in a single game (e.g start with a normal countdown period followed by a "Fischer" or "Bronstein Delay" period) - Extra upcount timing method makes it ideal for other board games. - Connects to the DGT Electronics Sensor Board - Ideal for use at US Chess Federation and FIDE Rated Tournaments ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0033Q44FA | | Best Sellers Rank | #388,844 in Toys & Games ( See Top 100 in Toys & Games ) #10,025 in Board Games (Toys & Games) | | Brand | Philos | | Brand Name | Philos | | Color | Multicoloured | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 787 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00878904006363 | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 2.36"D x 7.87"W x 4.33"H | | Item Weight | 0.4 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Dgt | | Manufacturer Part Number | 4672 | | Material | Plastic | | Material Type | Plastic | | Model Number | 4672 | | Number of settings | 5 | | Product Dimensions | 2.36"D x 7.87"W x 4.33"H | | Screen Size | 7.87 Inches | | UPC | 878904006363 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Color:** Multicoloured - **Brand:** Philos - **Material:** Plastic - **Product Dimensions:** 2.36"D x 7.87"W x 4.33"H - **Item Weight:** 0.4 Kilograms ## Images ![DGT DGT2010 - Digital Chess Clock with Fide Logo, Multi-Colour - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Td8SL++mL.jpg) ![DGT DGT2010 - Digital Chess Clock with Fide Logo, Multi-Colour - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91+AN4nQLlL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does it have a standard Scrabble 25min setting with "Overtime"** A: Yes **Q: I'm just looking for a timer to easily press for exercising reps and playing non-chess games. Count down/up is necessary. What is that person talking about in the review on the 5-step reset? I figure we can just have the person tracking time press the buttons back and forth to stop and start since we only need one tim…** A: It was fairly difficult to find out for sure which chess clocks have both the count down/up feature on them. The only one I've been able to identify that APPEARS to have this is the ZMart clock. You might want to do a search for this (possibly search for "Zmart Fun" or "ZmartFun" if "Zmart" doesn't bring up any clock results) and check and see if you can determine for certain whether that clock does. I couldn't really find proof that the DGT 2010 has this function available. **Q: Does this clock have an overtime or Canadian overtime setting?** A: Hi. I just checked the manual and the option is mentioned there. **Q: Is this US made?** A: Thank you for your inquiry. The DGT 2010 Digital Chess clock is made in China. We hope this information is helpful in making your final decision.Regards,Robyn R.Wholesale Chess888-582-4377 ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best clock *by N***L on May 20, 2014* I own and have used both analog clocks and the USCF Game Time; I have used Chronos clocks in tournament play.

The instructions are hard to understand, but after you get used to programming it (especially if you have a friend to show you how), you'll be totally satisfied. The clock has 36 timing modes; enough for every game you've ever heard of, and several more that you haven't. Twelve are variations of Fischer's bonus after each move. The modes are divided into fourteen categories, and the clock can "remember" one user setting for each category. So, for example, it can remember G/10 or G/15, but not both. Our local club plays G/2 hours with a 5 second delay, except when the first round starts late. Then each player gets 15 minutes less. The clock can remember either one of these modes, but not both. The clock uses the "Bronstein" delay, which re-adds the delay time after you make your move. This can lead to arguments when you have only 6 seconds left, and you use all of them to make your move. You expect to have 5 seconds left, but I think you'll find that you have zero instead. I could be wrong about this. After each move, you press the lever on your side of the clock, as you would on an analog clock. Except once, at the start of the game. Then you press the center button to start the clock. The first time I used the clock, we played several moves before my opponent mentioned that the clock was not counting down. How embarrassing! I didn't know to press the center button. We switched to his windup mechanical clock for the rest of the game. I would prefer that delay be a separate option that could be applied to any mode. I think the instruction manual could be written more clearly. ## Frequently Bought Together - DGT 2010 Digital Chess Clock and Game Timer - A&A Tournament Chess Set/ 20''x20'' Foldable Silicone Chess Board / 3.75'' King Height Plastic Quadruple Weighted Classic Staunton Pieces/Storage Bag for 6 Years Old - 2 Players - Bobby Fischer Teaches Chess --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sk/products/8844776-dgt-dgt2010-digital-chess-clock-with-fide-logo-multi-colour](https://www.desertcart.sk/products/8844776-dgt-dgt2010-digital-chess-clock-with-fide-logo-multi-colour) --- *Product available on Desertcart Slovakia* *Store origin: SK* *Last updated: 2026-05-21*
