Can I set both a time and increment I desire, e.g. once a day for one hour or every other day for one hour?

There is no "daily function" ... this is a mechanical device that works like an old-fashion kitchen timer or mechanical alarm clock ... there are no batteries, no digital display, no date or clock function .. you must turn a knob to set the mechanical spring that sets the watering time. There is no "set it and forget function. You must actively set the timer every time you wish to use it. BTW, here in Texas, the State Legislature passed a bill requiring HOAs to allow xeriscaping ... many HOAs still require applications for "landscape modifications" but those applications cannot be reasonably denied. (Texas S.B. No. 198)

This timer is a simple set the time to water. Mine has worked very well and does shut off as expected. This one does not have a multiple program capability.

This timer is a manual set timer. You set it for 1 hour or fifteen minutes or whatever, and it ticks down like an egg timer as stated in the description. You reset it every time you want to use it. Ours lasted for several years and was a great value for the price.

No. It's is a mechanical time. If you want to vary watering by day of the week, hour of the day and watering time you should look at electronic water timers that attach to your hose bib. Hope this helps. (BTW we suggest you go organic, reduce your lawn size and use native plants that require less water thereby minimizing your overall watering needs and work, too.)

No, it's s pretty simple timer(I love mine!) but it's kind of like a kitchen timer.

You can set it to run the program every day. Mine is set to run every morning and every evening.

No - you can only set two time periods - you can do 50 seconds on / 10 seconds rest (repeat as many times as you wish) OR 30 seconds on / 10 seconds rest (repeat as wanted) OR 50 seconds on and 30 seconds rest but not all three time periods.

Simple. Just push the switch to turn or off manually. It will over ride your time settings.

That is not possible. It is either on all the time or 1, 2,4 and 8 hours. If you want to set it for whatever time you want, I would get a a 24 hour timer.

Same as what was previously posted with some additional clarification: "press prog button once. Hit the hour and minute button ( must hit the minute button at least once) to desired time. Hit prog again to set the time off button. When done press clk to return to current time" You can have more than one on/off cycle per day so when done entering the time off it is prompting for the next on/off cycle to be input the same as you just did. Do this in chronological order. When all on/off cycles are input then press the clk button to return to current time.

Yes, you can set the time. Strangely, I had to change my time zone on it because it kept resetting the time an hour ahead of what it should be.

Yes. You can set it inside for up to 1 hour. It's in the menu, so you have to want to change it on purpose.

Yes, there are two alarms; you can set them any way you like--weekday, weekend, daily, once.

You can program it for once a day, every 2 days, every 3 days, 4 days, once a week, and then multiple times a day. I suppose you could purchase two, get a "Y", and then program one to open on saturday, the other on tuesday. It's kinda nightmarish, but ...

YES, you can set a DIFFERENT time on each day - and even multiple times on each day (or on the same day or days) up to twenty different programs pretty much in any combination you want.

exactly! you have to take the current time and do the math to know how long it is until 7am. so setting it each day will require either going to bed at the exact same time or figuring out the math again.

Yes, you can set it to come on at a certain time and off at a certain time. Works great.

Start with menu, scroll to date/time. The good thing is when you set the time on one hand set, the others are set too.

Not really. You'd have to add four hours to "now" and set the day to "today" and then remember to disable it before the next week.

Yes, you can. Set the timer to the current time of the day. Set the star time and how long. How often- every 6 or 12 hrs, every 1day, every 2 days, etc. The timer operate at the time you designate and every day, depends on what you set in its program.
