What Customers Are Saying
The Orbit Digital Water Timer has received mixed reviews. Some users found it easy to program and use, with good functionality. However, many others reported significant issues, including difficulty programming the timer due to unclear instructions and a confusing interface, valves getting stuck open or not shutting off properly, lack of water resistance leading to internal component failure, and poor overall durability. Several customers had to replace the timers multiple times due to these problems. While the 6-year warranty may be helpful, the reliability and longevity concerns appear to be a major drawback for many customers.

When it works, its good
Would Not RecommendI bought 2 of these. When it "chooses" to work, it does great..no problems. But the problem is that out of no where it will turn itself off and the clock will get all messed up. at first i thought it was the batteries dieing, but i changed them and it does the same thing. Inconsistent, but like i said, when it works and doesnt choose to turn itself off, it works well.

Two work well
Would RecommendI have two and they work well. They do seem to reset everything when you turn it to Off so that is not convenient to remember all of your settings. Setting it is ok. I've gotten used to it. And it fires when it should. It is a hard on/off with the valve so I added some water hammer connections to it. And these get constantly wet and I've never had an issue with that. The batteries last a long time too. Two issues... the screen gets hard to read when it is left in the sun year after year. I've go...
Worked well while it lasted
Had no problem with it, in fact i liked the unit, until it stopped working after two seasons. Easy to setup. Timer worked well. Too expensive just to replace. Am trying something else.
