The PineTime[1] is one which is really inexpensive and has really 
fun proper use-cases. (Time & date, Bluetooth 
communication/integration with phone, heart rate measuring, etc.)

I wanted to start on that a while ago but haven't gotten around 
to it yet. Now there is even OTA flashing shipped with the watch 
in the included (community) OS which makes it even easier as you 
don't need to get a flashing device + cable anymore. (It's very 
cheap, 15€ for one with integrated debugger by a big trusted 
company for open source/personal use, but putting the cable in 
the watch and flashing with it is kind of a pain)
