Are these plastic fittings reliable?

If you dont abuse it, they last.

I have had mine for 2 years. Still works fine.

I like the simplicity. No batteries needed. Works off of a timer gear, like a cooking timer.
Get a second one as backup, given how cheap it is.

Hell no. I built a dozen raised beds and got these for each bed, they all break 1-3 seasons.

Got mine in spring. By winter the entire plastic housing had cracked. It was like the screws swelled or something. Luckily I heard the water running and didn't lose more than a few gallons.

You're in luck, it has a 6 year warranty.

You know you're not supposed to just leave the faucet open 24/7 while you're using one of these, right?

Typical use case for me is:
1.) Open spigot
2.) Twist timer to desired length, usually 15-45 minutes
3.) Walk away and totally forget about watering
4.) Several hours later suddenly remember I was watering something
5.) Go to faucet, see that timer has shut it off, close spigot until I need to water again later

Leaving the spigot open all the time is going to keep pretty strong water pressure constantly pushing against the timer's internals which will inevitably break them over time, especially if you're part of a water system that doesn't have super reliable water pressure.

I really liked this as I don't have to worry about the batteries and it is pretty accurate with timing but I stopped using mine because it has such a hard shutoff compared to digital battery operated Orbit timer that I also have. I found the digital timer to shut off more gentle. I got old pipes and I just didn't like to hear that loud hard shutoff sound. The Orbit digital timers work well and last me a few years. The digital 1 outlet Orbit timer is on sale for $11.99 on Amazon (Prime deal).

For $5 you think these will last forever?
