I like my pebble watch, I've had it since 2014 and have had no problems with it thus far other than having to use an open source utility because the company got bought by fitbit and they discontinued support for the pebble line of watches.

it's a pebble time 2.
has a full color E-ink screen, a 5 day battery life that has yet to go down and is completely programmable.
right now I have a watchface on it that tells me the rise and set times of the planets and major constellations as well as the date, and time in 24hour units.
it's linked to my smartphone as it's a smart watch and I use it as a timer, alarm, extension of my phones PDA functionality and to control music when I'm taking a walk somewhere.
as far as it's functionality it's pretty limitless, among some of my favorite things for it that I've tried include games, a digital pet (think tamogachi), linking it to the camera on my phone to act as a remote view, making phone calls with it secret agent style, running a compass app on it, and using it as an on foot GPS.
you write code for it in python and as far as physical abilities it uses a magnetic charging connector and is waterproof up to 30 meters.
it's been my daily driver for 6 years now and I'm not sure where it's limits lie but since the company that made it no longer exists and open source options now exist for it, it's sorta like my hacker watch.
I wouldn't be surprised if it was possible to link it with a raspberry pi or an arduino or something as it uses bluetooth but I've not tried yet.
attached to it is a canvas wristband I got this past spring along with a replacement charging cable, it's super comfortable and the coolest feature has to be that you can actually add stuff to it.
see the wrist band connector also has data pins and you can make wrist bands that allow you to add hardware to it but I've not tried yet.
