The lever arms on the DGT 3000 have a very smooth action to them and are visible enough that you can see whose move it is at a decent distance. The display is larger than my older DGT clock, and may actually be one of the largest clearest displays of any digital clock on the market right now. In addition, it shows seconds on the display, no matter what time control you choose. For multiple time control games, it will also display the period that you are in, and the with the press of a button, it can also display a move counter. If you are using time controls such as the USCF delay, a countdown appears at the bottom of the screen displaying the delay seconds counting down before your true time starts. Practically any time control or variant one wants is possible with this clock. There are also 5 manual settings you can program for any time control of your choosing. DGT really did manage to include a lot of information on this clock. There's not much more that's missing that any tournament or casual player would miss out on. I've heard some complaints that there is too much information being displayed on the screen. But, really, how often do you sit and stare at the chess clock while in the middle of a game, in order to notice how much info is being displayed? In my opinion, having more rather than less, covers all the bases and complaints that most chess players would have, therefore making this an ideal chess clock.
But the DGT also deserves to be reviewed on its own merits, and it is a good clock. The light plastic construction appears to be sturdy enough, although that's no reason to abuse it (or to let your opponents do so). The display is quite clear, shows hours minutes and seconds at all times, and gives a clear flag indication. If both players run out of time, it shows who overstepped first, even if you don't have "freeze" on. There is an on-screen low battery indicator, so you shouldn't get caught by surprise. The two AA batteries are easy to install with a normal type battery door, unlike the Chronos, on which you need to open up the whole case. The thin plastic battery door on the DGT does seem a little flimsy, but just be careful.
If you're good at reading instructions, there should be no problem in figuring out how to set it; the multi-lingual manual is quite adequate. In addition, there is lots of information printed on the bottom of the clock itself to show the different modes and what the buttons do. There are five "user modes" that you can set up for time controls not covered by the presets, and save them for future use. That said, you do need to be willing to read the manual; not everything is obvious.
I'm not a big fan of the rocker switch, but it's adequate, and does give a good visual indication of who is on move. When you have the clock set up for your time control, you move the rocker switch so that it's up for the player with White; there is no "neutral" position. At this point the clock still isn't running, and Black needs to start it with one of the front panel buttons. After that, you use the rocker switch after each move. I prefer the completely independent buttons on the Chronos. In a time scramble or a blitz game, someone may not take his hand off the switch in time, and the clock could get damaged. With the Chronos, you can keep your hand on your button all day, and it won't prevent your opponent from starting his clock. This won't necessarily come up very often, though.
Using the move counter on a digital clock isn't necessarily the best idea. Frequently somebody forgets to punch the clock after a move, and it gets out of synch with the number of moves made. That can be a problem if you have the clock programmed for a specific number of moves in a time control, as it may "flag" you incorrectly. The DGT 3000 has a move counter that is active at all times, whether it's specified in the time control or not. You can only see the move count, though, by pressing a button on the front while it's running, which temporarily blanks the time display, although it keeps counting. So you should only do this on your move if at all, and make sure that your opponent understands about this feature. In any case, the DGT will only let you program the number of moves in a time control if you're using Fischer increment mode. With a countdown delay or Bronstein delay mode, you can still call up the move count, but the second time control doesn't show on the clock until the first one runs out of time, regardless of move count.
To reset the clock, you have to turn it off and on with the switch on the bottom. This should be no issue for tournaments, but some people don't like it for long strings of blitz games. The blitz modes on the Chronos are probably better for this. The Chronos also has at least the appearance of being sturdier, although I don't have any actual data on how the two brands hold up under abuse.
Both DGT and Chronos have every option you should ever need for a chess tournament. I can't compare the go time controls from experience. The DGT also has a scrabble mode if you need it. I don't.
On the whole, I think I prefer my Chronoses. From long experience they're easy enough to set, although there are fewer on screen clues as to what to do, and nothing written on the case. I've already mentioned the construction and the play switches. The display is a bit bolder on the Chronos, although it's not a huge difference. The delay countdown is clearer on the Chronos, and if you do use move count, it's on screen at all times, or can be.
On the other hand, the DGT 3000 is a good clock which is more or less the international standard. With plans for some open tournaments outside the U.S. next year, this is probably the better clock to take.
Also, the color is nice and the click is satisfying.
