DGT releases an update of the DGT2010

In October 2010 DGT released an updated version of the DGT2010 chess clock that replaced the existing model.

The  main improvement is in the memory function that allows users to store the manual settings in all 14 timing systems. In addition some minor changes were made to keep the clock up to date with fashionable timing systems.

The updated DGT 2010 version is sometimes called DGT 2010 SG (Second Generation) and can be recognized by the blue colour of the buttons. It is approved by FIDE and recommended as “The Official FIDE Chess Clock”.
