Default Replacing a thermostat question?

I like this one, in a friend's mountain vacation home.

Hi All,

I would like to replace my 30 years old thermostat
(forced air) with an electronic one that will allow
me to set the temperature based on the time of day.

Questions:

Do I need to "rewire" anything?

Do I presume correctly that electronic thermostats have
their own battery?

And do I presume correctly that the new thermostat just
attaches to the old thermostat's relay wires?

Do you have a favorite model?

Many thanks,
-T
