Official FIDE chess timer. Chess timer perfection. *by J***J on 5 October 2025* Addressed small issues from previous timers, now it's as good as it gets. Official FIDE chess clock. Lots of presets. Intuitive adjustments for tournament directors. Shows seconds at all times. Smooth, quiet operation during play. The screen has much better contrast than the previous generation. The bright red color is a little garish, but I prefer it over faux wood. I wish they made a charcoal grey version or offered shell upgrades that fit over top like a kleenex box coozy. Anyway, if you play chess in tournaments this is the best option to bring. If you play in North America there's a new updated North America version that has a slightly lower MSRP. They would be the only two I would buy right now. If I needed to plug into chess tracking software I'd get the DGT 3000, but I would be wary of it being from a dated generation of timers. It seems it could be due for a refresh. I'm counting on this timer lasting me at least 10 years. One small thing, the box didn't state that it took (and included) AA batteries. So if you need that info, here it is. ## Frequently Bought Together - New DGT 2500 Official Fide Digital Chess Clock/Timer - JUST Released - 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 - How to Win at Chess: The Ultimate Guide for Beginners and Beyond --- ## 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.ie/products/514358981-new-2500-official-fide-digital-chess-clock-timer-just-released](https://www.desertcart.ie/products/514358981-new-2500-official-fide-digital-chess-clock-timer-just-released) --- *Product available on Desertcart Ireland* *Store origin: IE* *Last updated: 2026-07-08*
