Honeywell Home RTH6580WF Wi-Fi 7-Day Programmable Thermostat - Amazon Warehouse - Good used
In the last two weeks I bought three of these. I tried one first and it was really good so I standardized our house on them. The price has fluctuated. At one point it was $16 and I got two of mine for $18. $21.26 (now $26.51) is still a great deal on a good Wifi thermostat. I wanted a wifi thermostat without too much tech (no motion sensors or too much automated guesswork) that was reliable and easy to use. These filled the bill nicely. The app works reliably. The thermostat fit two of my three marks on the wall from the old thermostat with no painting and the old holes in the wall lined up nicely from all three. Both came in the orginal box and had been carefully repacked. Take a picture of the mac address on the back of the thermostat before you click it into place on the mount. You'll need the Mac address. They were easy to get online, I used my 2.4 wifi band as that seems to work better with all my home automation. A C wire is needed for these and I ended up running that to all three because I only had four wires on my older setup.
Look for the Amazon Warehouse listing for the best price. The price fluctuates so YMMV on the actual price.

Side note: I would only buy a thermostat the has temperature differential settings anyhow.
I'll value my time a little bit and go ecobee every time.

In the past, it might have been used for thermostats that allowed you to set up schedules, although many could achieve that with a thermostat using AA batteries.
Now, it is more commonly used with IoT thermostats that have Wi-Fi. Older homes didn't have the C wire because thermostats were mechanical controls.
It's not too difficult to run the C wire, or if your thermostat is near an outlet, you can simply get a power brick, though that's not the cleanest installation and may be an eyesore for some.
If your home was built in the last 20 years, there's a good chance you have the C wire connected to the thermostat.
I have been using a Honeywell Lyric T5 for the last 8 years without any issues, and it is integrated into Home Assistant. I use geofencing to turn the heat on or off depending on people's locations, which is a great energy saver!
Remember folks, the 'S' in "IoT" stands for security.
