[Help Thread] Best Clock (To buy) In 2026

[SpeedCubingLord]

I want to buy a clock in 2026, but I do not know which one. I will do the basic mods at home, but what is the top cube?

2023SHOJ01 told me specifically to not buy the blue QiYi because of potential manufacturing issues.

I will mainly be buying from SpeedCubeShop, but TheCubicle is fine if necessary.

i have the pink one and it works like a charm. i modded it to have black corner clock pieces from my other normal qiyi clock that broke.

3 words: EStar Magnetic (or bearing (this doesnt count to the 3 words)) Clock.

This has a adjustable magnet system and is like really good.

I don't have one, but i would get qiyi or estar. i have the qiyi blue with tape and magnet mod, and it works good most days i average like sub-7 with 7 simul bpaul flip so i'm not that good

So, the battle is between QiYi and EStar...

I mean, I feel the Sengso v2 is in the runnings as well (esp if you’re just getting into clock, otherwise the look of it is kinda hard getting used to)

You can also qishao mod it, you swap the sengso dials with qiyi dials
