Digi ones -.-

In a blitz game we were using an analogue with the sorta circle thing you push in... I just took a bishop or knight (think it was a bishop) and was trying to push the clock in with it... but I didnt see that there was a hole in the bottom of the bishop which was pulling the circle bit of the clock back up and I was really confused... so when I had finally stopped laughing I had lost a crap ton of time.

Does anyone know wher i can find cheap second hand clocks, preferably the wooden ones? I remember using a Jerger wooden analog clock way back when, but couldnt afford one then. Ive always thought that wooden ones are more durable than the plastic ones & can stand greater punishment esp when playing blitz. Is it true? Nowadays there are also digital ones available. Are they any better than the analog ones?

What are your preferences & recommendations?
