Hi Dave,
  I`am also familiar and used the Saitek clock. The Chronos clock has a larger
digital display and there is a small red light above each clock that lights up
when it`s your turn to move(easier to see whose turn it is from accross the
room) The clock is narrow and a little longer than the Saitek which makes it a
little closer to reach. The set-up procedure is easier to program, plus easier
to return to the same settings after each game. Also it has many pre-programed
time controls and unlimited programming of different time settings. And the
"Chronos" is now the "Official Clock" for the USCF!!!

Regards,Terry
