Analong VS Digital Timer?

I'm trying to figure out what most of you use as a timer from your growing system. I have located a bunch of videos on youtube about Analog timers but hardly any for the Digital timers. I'm getting ready to purchase a grow system which includes the choice of an Analog timer or Digital.

i haven't tried digital but analog is reliable

i have a digital timer for my veg tent and an analog timer for my flower tent. no complaints about either... probably doesnt help answer ur question lol but its all a matter of preferance

I like my digi, works good.
I really wasn't a fan of my analog.

You need digital, if there is a black out or power cut the time on timer keeps going and the cycle stays the same. With analog you need to reset the time.

From what I know of the timers I checked out before my current system, is that the digital timers in the same price range as the analogue support lower currents.

The analogue just gives you the option to set the on or of state generally by 15 or 30 minutes, and digital timers have entire ranges, programs and what not to be able to switch on or off down to a minute combined with days/weekends.

One could argue the mechanical contruction of an analogue being more prone to damage or wear and tear, but the digital gets it flaws when the memory battery fails or corrosion gets the better of the print.

I eventually went with an analogue for the lights, and a digital for the ventilation.
Obviously the digital one wasnt up to par for a grow (the ventilation), so I replaced it all with a computer controlling a set of relais.

i have both currently installed and i actually prefer the analog... its nearly impossible to screw up the settings on an analog timer and it only takes one mistakenly depressed button on a digital timer to make things all screwy.
