I found the Orbit 62001 watering timer very easy to use. The digital interface was really easy and intuitive. The only problem I had is with the cheap black plastic hose connector at the bottom. Several times when I was adjusting my hose, it would pop off by the connector. If you were to keep disconnecting the hose, you will see wear on the plastic connector. It gives me a sense that the plastic threads on it are wearing out and will eventually be gone. I'll also recommend you use plumber's tape to make the connection tighter. In general, it's a great unit if you don't screw/unscrew the hose too often.

This unit was a snap to install, has easy-to-follow instructions, and seems configurable enough to do exactly what I wanted: turn on the water three specified times per day, each with a different period. The construction feels solid. There is ample warning for low batteries, and when the batteries get low enough, it stops the flow (the right thing to do!). There is a quick-reference guide inside the display housing that contains enough instruction to perform any operation. Finally, the one-click "manual mode" is an easy way to check your sprinkler setup work!

I've been using this for about 3 weeks now and it's so easy to use. It's nice that you can detach the programming module from the valve too. I was very impressed to see how many options there were for programming it: certain days of week, every 2nd day, every 3rd day, etc. I like the feature to just cancel the programming for 24 hours. So, when I see rain is coming or it's raining, I just run out to the timer, press "clear" and the system goes to sleep for 24 hours and then resumes from there automatically. Manual override is easy to set by just entering the minutes you want it to run and you can rest assured the water will turn off and you won't need to worry about forgetting it.

I'm here buying my second timer because I have been very pleased with the first one. After going through several other timer brands at the beginning of last summer, I bought an Orbitz timer as well as the Clabor 2-outlet timer. Both came highly recommended on Amazon. I found them both to be very reliable and well-built. However, I found the Orbitz to be much easier to program than the Clabor. The Clabor, while reliable, isn't very intuitive. The Orbitz is very easy to use and program. It's also easy to use in 'manual' mode, unlike the Clabor. Both timers survived the winter just fine (in my shed, not on the faucet) and the battery in both was also functional.
If you're trying to chose between the two, I'd recommend the Orbitz.

Over the last year and a half this timer had to have 2 parts replaced. Customer service was outstanding and sent me the needed parts free of charge--and you get to speak to a friendly and knowledgeable person in the USA. Timer is excellent, design is much better than any of my previous timers, and relatively easy to program. I also like that you can take it off of it's attachment to program it. It has programing instructions printed on the box.
