running watches hrm image
Chris
I love to mountain bike and run so I am looking for a watch that handles both, that isn't too bulky. Most online reviews are outdated and product reviews seem too vague.
Answer
I think it's going to depend the bike features (if any) you want. Any GPS watch on the market can track time, distance, and speed (in mph or kph) which are the basic things you'd probably want to see while mountain biking.
But some watches come with bike specific features like: speed and cadence sensors, power meter support, custom bike settings (good if you use multiple bikes with different wheel sizes WITH the speed and cadence sensor).
The problem is most of the watches with these features are found on the bulky, triathlete GPS watches.
But the TomTom Multi-sport might work for you. It has some bike features, supports a HRM, and isn't too bulky.
Some good non-bike feature watches with a HRM are Garmin's 210 and 610 -- or, if you can wait a few weeks, these are being replaced by the 220 and 620.

What is the best running watch?
George
I am in high school and I am looking for a cheap running watch that will do the trick. All I really need is a stop watch, although I don't want a regular stopwatch because it cannot go on your wrist and is a pain to run with. The extra features are not necessary and I'd preferably like it less then a hundred dollars although if its really good I would be willing to go a little over. Any recommendation would be great!
Thanks and God Bless
Answer
You don't need to spend more than 20!
Best running watch for under 100 is also under 20
Casio Men's W756-1AV Digital Sport Watch
Not only is it under 20, its loaded with features. I wouldn't buy a watch for running that doesn't have interval timers and this one has 9!
Another good interval timer is anyone of the timex Trainer line
If your budget is a little over a hundred you may want to look into GPS watches and HRM watches.
The cheapest GPS watch is the Timex marathon for about 100
and the cheapesst HRM watch is the polar f6 for about 60
