Title: Not watertight
Review: 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.
Is the review positive or negative?
