All water timers do basically the same thing, but some require cryptic routines to set the timers. Older designs don't even use digital readout.
This timer is so straightforward, there's nothing to figure out. The large dial and readout is perfect for my aging eyes. You just turn the dial to whatever setting you want to change, then adjust it to the exact minute.
I'm using 6 of these - the clocks are synchronized and the timers set so that they all run at different times in the night.
For example, one zone is just pots on the deck, with drippers. 12 minutes twice a day seems just about right. As it gets hotter, bumping it up to 14 or 15 minutes will take 10 seconds. It's nice to control it with this precision.
Now for the additional features that really make this shine:
Need some water now? One click shopping. Hit a button and it turns on for 10 minutes(adjustable).
Raining today? Hit the + button and shut it off for 1, 2, or 3 days.
Raining all week? Turn the dial one click from AUTO to OFF. Just remember to turn it back on when the rain stops.
The build on these seems good. The dial, buttons, battery compartment all seem to be well engineered. As mentioned, I have 6 - all new this season. I'll report back on their longevity.

Perfect item! Surprisingly solid design for the price. Simple navigation. Enough settings, but not too much to make it too complicated.
Previously I purchased one item to test on my back yard, then after using it for a few weeks, I decided to purchase the same model for my front yard. Now I don't have to worry about watering.
I thought it would be useful to give a few more details about watering options:
HOW LONG: 0 - 240 minutes with 1 minute interval.
HOW OFTEN: every 6 hours, 12 hours, 1 day, 2 days, 3 days, 4 days, 5 days, 6 days, 7 days.
MANUAL: 0 - 240 minutes with 1 minute interval.
Manual mode is managed by a dedicated button, so using it does not affect your automatic settings and they remain unchanged.
When set to start in manual mode, it gives a few seconds before starting. I find it quite useful as my hose outlet is on the other side of the yard, and I have enough time to get of the way.
I used this timer for about a month, so it is hard to say if it will last long. But considering how it appears, I have a strong feeling that it will. Overall I am impressed and can strongly recommend this item to others.
P.S. This is my first review on Amazon, I just thought this product deserves a few minutes to tell people about. :)

I have only had this item for about two weeks but it is working out great. I believe the product is well built and it does exactly what it intends to do. I like to call it my poor man's sprinkler system. It works just as well as a sprinkler system since I hid my hose under my xeri-scaped rock bed. Just be sure to buy a "Y" valve for the faucet so you can still have a hose attached that you can water stuff on your own. I also like the manual setting where you can just push the button and change the amount of time whenever you want if you just put seed down,etc. to help moisten the area immediately. I will recommend this to all my friends.

Simple programming, great product!
Simplicity is the key here. Many of us want something that 'simply' does the job. I wish they made a remote control for a TV, satellite or DVD player. Read more

The best hose garden timer
This product is easy to install and set up; it is simple to use and works perfect. I am using it to come each six hours and can also set to manual mode.

Easy to Use with Large Display
I gave the item 3 stars because I was looking for a timer that would turn on every hour for 10 minutes. This only turns on at the most once every 6 hours. That is the negative. Read more

No complaints
I have had this for about a week. It is very simple to program, and does the job. I would not pay the extra money to buy "better" one.
