I do long road runs quite a bit and am looking into buying a gps watch. I used to have a polar heart rate monitor (ft4) but misplaced it. It was great for telling me the calories burned but I really need one that tells me distance and pace, too.
I was looking online last night and there are just SO many options. Polars versus Garmins versus Nike versus TomTom....
The features I want are:
-gps to tell me my distance/pace
-how many calories I burn (and visible during workout, not just after)
-decent battery since I run 20-40 miles per week
-weather proof since I run in rain/snow/extreme heat...
I do not need training plans, feedback, or anything like that...I just want it to be accurate and durable. Do you have any suggestions? Or any NOT to get? Even if I can eliminate some, that would be great! I loved my polar ft4, it just didn't have the gps features.
Answer
I swear by my Garmin 301, gives distance and time run, calories, comes with a charger, no batteries to replace, just plug it in the wall every few days and weather enough proof, I never submerged it in water and it is usually protected by whatever is protecting me if there is inclement weather.

what is the best running watch to buy??? best = pace count, heart rate, lap interval, gps, at least over 300$?

Murphy is way off on price, have it much cheaper here http://www.walmart.com/search/search-ng.do?search_constraint=0&ic=48_0&search_query=Garmin+305&Find.x=8&Find.y=7
Polar makes the best heart rate watch, but no GPS on them. Good Luck
