I want to buy my first chess clock, and I'm thinking of getting an
analog wind-up one. I only play casual little games.
My first reason for wanting a clock so that I can give my boy 4
minutes or so, while I only get 30 seconds. I wonder if a chess clock
such as this:

will be able to do that, ring the alarm when my time-limit is up. Is
that the sort of feature that is normal for an analog windup? Or
would I need a digital one for that? There is also a 'Leap PQ 9902'
'c5' fully digital one I could afford that advertises this feature
set:
3 Chess Modes: Normal, Traditional, International Match Rules
- 3 Countdown Modes: Countdown, Bonus, Bronstein
- Digital can count game time in seconds for player
- Key lock button to prevent switch off accidentally
- 7 Key Operation: On/Off, Start/Pause, Time Set, -, +, Lock, Timer
- Suitable for both home use and competitions
- Simple setting & easy to operate
- Lightweight and portable
