NOT Hard to use at all. Awesome. No reason to buy another clock.
First off, do yourself a FAVOR and GET the PDF files for the manual and quick start guide off their website. The included manual is tiny and a PITA. You might even want to print out the pdf like i did, highlight and circle important info, fold it and carry those instructions as a protective “thingy” for your clock ( i already keep it in my chess bag – so it’s more protected)https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PNQOS0Y/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 The clock is extremely easy to use and you're gonna find yourself using the same time controls with different choices in bonus time or adjustments anyway. In other words you have all those choices but you only need to understand a few. Once you read the directions and play around with the examples , you'll immediately see how easy it is to use. The clock memorizes the last time controls you used so you can hold the button and fast forward for a quick start or even make an adjustment (Fischer Bonus time or whatever, or different total time for each player or ....) The clock is very sturdy and the action is perfect if you need to play blitz and "slap" the buttons. In YouTube videos you'll notice a lot of people using this same exact model so that already says a lot. There really is no reason to buy a more expensive clock since this has everything you need. All the pluses and advantages that everyone else mentioned are there too. Overall I'm more than satisfied with my purchase as usual (just pay attention to the reviews). I expect this clock to last a long time and it will most likely be the last clock I ever buy. Not bad for something under $40.
