One that connects to you phone to show you some of he stuff that your
phone would. It also DOES some of the stuff that your phone would.
Easier to look at your watch than take your phone out of your pocket.
 
That being said, I don't want one.

I'd worry about breaking such a previous thing. I gave my grandma's
wedding-gift cut glass to my DIL, who I know will care for it far better
than I could.

Are you a runner or do some other aerobic form of insanity? Do you have
problems?

Many have their own wrist-display device. Look at Polar units. The bad
news is that some have to be sent back to the factory to replace the
battery in the chest strap.

Well this is the frugal living group and the part of your post relevant to
the group is the refund part.
 
While a refund may have a psychological benefit to you there is no monetary
benefit. I want to have my money now, not a year from now. The government
doesn't get or deserve a free money ride at my expense. My psychological
benefit comes from me contolling my money not the government.
 
The added benefits are I don't have to worry about my refund being stolen
and I don't have to file early to get my refund.
 
Frugal is as frugal does.

Even in California. Costco last week: $2.79.

Screw it. Ups and downs. For a long time a gallon of gas was the same
price as a pack of cigarettes, but those days are long gone. I stopped
smoking when cigs were about a buck a pack.

a smart watch?

Neither do I. In my pocket is a Waltham spring-powered watch that
has kept adequately accurate time for 113 years; no batteries required.
Been scoping ebay for a wearable heart rate monitor (I'm told that 48bpm
is too damn' slow) and many of the listings refer to smart watches and
bluetooth.
