The smarter watch was an offhand item present in the April Fools' snapshot 1.RV-Pre1.

Obtaining

Mob loot

Zombies, zombie villagers and skeletons could spawn with it in their offhand slot. They had a chance​ to drop it when killed by the player.

Usage

Smarter watches were "equipped" by holding them in the offhand slot. While equipped, they displayed the current time above the hotbar, in minutes and seconds, with one minute of in-game time being 5/6 of a real-time second, and one in-game hour being 5/6 of a real-time minute or 50 seconds.

The smarter watch also notified the player of statistics milestones and taken damage.

When the player had achieved a statistic, the message said:

Notice! <Statistic> is now <number>!

When the player had taken damage, the message said:

Notice! You recently took <amount of damage taken> half hearts of damage!
