Good electronic timers

Does anyone have any recommendations for good electronic timers?

I want simple but reliable.

I need 2 outlets, to run one to the veggies garden and 1 to the trees.

Also looking for a source of cheap poly irrigation supplies to make an irrigation system.

Anyone got any links or suggestions?

I use a Holman "Dial Ezy" from Bunnings and 3 solenoids on my tap with 3 different hose runs
Reliable and works well
I use sprayers over all my benches

Unfortunately not enough programmes available to run more than once a day, but aside from that is good.

this thread has some good info too

This is all I've ever used. Never had an issue with them. I change the batteries regularly. I use three to run 3 separate lines. If one ever fails I don't loose everything. Can run up to 8 program's a day. I like the fact that each line has its own timer so not all plants rely on the same system.

I also use sprays as Ken mentioned. Drippers have line up whith each pot. With sprays you can move/add plants no worries.
