"It's OK..."
Version: Chronograph 6.61

Easy to use, simple interface

The progam is thin on features; ie. Alarms, Time zones, Countdown timers,...

Not much to summarize, it's simple to use, and works as described.

"Skinable and convient, simple to use."
Version: Chronograph 6.55
Pros
I was using 3 scheduled tasks per 34 hours to keep my clock correct. This program gives immediate feed back if the clock is even off. One-click to check and one-click to correct. Much easier than programming scheduled system tasks.
Cons
Price is a bit too high for me, try closer to $15 for me. I did find out what the skins look like or how to make one myself.

"Still Does Not Work With 64 Bit Windows Yet!!"
Version: Chronograph 6.50
Pros
Great Unobtrusive & Simple Program For Synchronizing Your Computers Clock

Does Not Work For 64 Bit Windows 7!

Needs To Be Fixed To Work For 64 Bit Windows Systems! Also Could Use More Expanded User Options To Better Customize Clock Settings & Looks!

"Does the job."
Version: Chronograph 6.37
Pros
Mild nerdy thrill.if you like atoms and stuff.
Cons
No better than a clock.Come Armageddon,how you gonna tell the time then?
Summary
Fine if being synchronised is important to you. It's lightly better looking than the windows clock(why is that so dull?). Easy to install,use,and forget.

"I cannot see much use for it."
Version: Chronograph 6.37
Pros
It is easy to install.
Cons
How can I be assured I'm "right in time with the National Institute of Standards and Technology" if the connection is by Internet i.e. takes time? To properly synchronize my clock with the NIST I would need a radio signal or a cable connection.
Summary
The programme may be useful if one wishes to synchronize a number of computers on a local network. As I said, the proper synchronization with the National Institute of Standards and Technology is not possible by Internet in principle: it does take seconds for the information to travel up and down through the web.
I was not impressed by the design either. A number of skins was provided but they could change only the font and its background. The structure of the display remains the same, one cannot have e.g. the day of the week ( I need that) or the year (I need that in the beginning of a year). Besides the programme displays the time / date in one longish line which widens the quick launch bar which I found unbecoming. All in all, there is a lot of better quality clock gadgets on the Google website. The main claim of the synchronization with the national clock does not make much sense, as I said. -

"ANOTHER time synchronizer ?"
Version: Chronograph 6.35
Pros
Absolutely nothing.
Cons
THE PRICE - there are so many FREE ones ! You really have to be joking ! ! !
Summary
Don't waste your time OR your money ! Get a free one, or better yet, ugrade to an operating system such as Vista, that has a time synchronizer already built in...
