I’m not sure if that is what you want. Does it will turn all outlets on at the same time that you set?
I wanted things to turn off and on in sequence.
I use a power center made by Coralife. It has two timers, one controls the bottom blue and grey outlets and the other controls the yellow outlets…the 3 outlets marked yellow I use for the daytime lights…the 2 that are marked light blue for the actinic lights, to come on an hour before daylights and a half hour off after ..and run the same time as daylights. (hope that makes sense) Then it has 2 marked dark grey for moonlights or anything I want to run After daylights switch off. Then it has 1 regular outlet that is activated all the time for a power head or skimmer..whatever.
I have had this power center for some time and it has had no issues. I love that it is color coded, it makes everything easy. The timers are not digital they have those tiny switches you put up or down according to the time you want to set.

LOL...you’re bad as me! I have plugs all over besides my command center.

If you want everything plugged into the timer to operate at the same time, the one you posted will work great. Digital is much easier to use than those dial ones.
Being an outdoor type I would think it is a little more safe around water.
