 Gardena-3 Electronic Water Timer #31825-25 September 2, 2008
This timer wss easy to set and install. Testing showed that it worked. One issue I have is in the start date. I set it for 6 pm, for two days, and entered this information at noon. 6 pm came along and no water. I believe it will start in two days and operate every two days thereafter. However, it would have been nice if the instructions were more clear in this regard.
 Dependable timer August 31, 2008
We bought this timer for our garden while we were on vacation. It worked perfectly. We had someone to check on the garden occasionally, and they never had to worry about the watering - it was done properly. It has continued to operate perfectly since then. You can not set it to the minute, but if you are willing to adjust to that, it is great. No problem for us. We ordered another one for another area of our yard, because we liked this so well!

This Timer works very well when one is irrigating plants, bushes or trees using either a soaker hose, drip irrigator or sprinkler. I have used a Gardena Water Timer for over 20 years and they just keep working.
 Time will tell July 26, 2008
So far I like this timer. It does take a little figuring out to set it up, but the other ones did too. I like it that you can remove the programming portion of the unit so you can set it up when you are comfortably seated somewhere, rather than leaning over the unit when it is in place.
I use mine to water my tomato plants, and the containers on the deck. I set it to come on every morning about 7:30 am for 3 minutes, and now the plants are bigger, I bumped it up to 5 minutes. This ability to set it for short periods of time like this is important for the way I do things here. I do not use the settings for running it more than once per day, so can't report on how that works.
I have had other battery operated water timers, and have been lucky if I ever get more than one season out of them, or part of a 2nd season before they go belly up. That is usually what happens to me. Timers go belly up in the middle of the season, and seem to do this about the time I plan to go away for a few days. (ie: at the most critical moment) These past experiences with other brands have left me very skeptical. I would give this unit a higher rating if I knew it would hold up. I have only had it a couple months, and I have no complaints so far. Ask me if it is still working by the end of the summer season in 2010. If it lasts, and continues to work as well as it is now. I will give it 5 stars.
 Not watertight July 20, 2008

What amazes me about this OUTDOOR water timer is their warning: "Use only in upright position to keep water out of the battery compartment". Given that it is used OUTSIDE in the RAIN, and is attached to a hose bib (all of which leak), one might think they would make a battery compartment that has a rubber sealing gasket and screws on tight to keep the internal mechanism dry. Instead, they have a cheap plastic snap on cover for the battery that doesn't come close to sealing tightly to keep the water out.
Would you buy an umbrella with holes? If not, why buy this timer? It would take about 50 cents to design the battery compartment correctly. I already sent mine back after the first rainstorm flooded it. It is incredible how thoughtless in design some companies can be. An outdoor electronic mechanism should be watertight. It really is that simple.
