All the clubs I've played at use the top one here or very similar:

Originally posted by CCNoobDigital clocks with a time delay function are preferred, but analogs are allowed; I see quite a few at USCF tournaments. If your opponent objects to a analog and he has a digital, then the digital with a time delay must be used however.

As to the original question, I have this one which I highly recommend: http://www.wholesalechess.com/chess/excalibur_chess_game_time_ii
It is the most common in the events I play in. I'd say Chronos ones are next in popularity, but they are more expensive and a bit more complicated to program.

Im In the market for a new chess clock and was just browsing on line.I cant seem to make up my mind . I would like any and all recommendations for a good one, if any one cares to share. Around the $ 50-60 range or cheaper. thanks
A friend gave me one of those FIDE electronic game timers, he hated it. I use it for longer time controls, it's hard to reset between games.
I am an old school boy and like the old fashioned inaccurate analog timers best. It's the flag thing IMO 🙂
