Mine is Aputure, and battery needed replacement after a year and half.
I seriously doubt that "cloned" timers are really much different from "original" ones.. Being in electronics industry for whole my professional life, I simply KNOW that almost every big brand is using other no-name manufactures and just sticking their own labels for many non-critical products..
And, even if this is not the case here (with Canon original timer), everyone today is using the same parts and components for their gadgets (microcontrollers and other logic circuits, resistors, caps and so on). so everyone ends up with very similar performance of their products.

So the proverb "you get what you pay for" is simply not true any more.... (probably it was true in the last century.. but not always :-) )
