Good running watches?

hanako0848

I'm running cross country this year as a senior and this is the first time my coach has asked us to buy a watch. I'm not sure what kind of watch to get....The coach wants a watch a that will be able to keep my mile splits. Could you give me some ideas? I don't want to spend more than thirty dollars on this watch. thanks.

Answer
I use Timex Iron man watches, they are cheap and you can get your splits, and they also have a timer so you can use them for interval running.
I think my last one was less than $30.

What is a good time watch for running?

I'm looking for something that might have laps or something as distance set compared to time viseversa. Something that could running oriented.

I have been looking at some Casio's Ilumminators, still not sure if my best option.

Also I am not looking to spend 500 dlls on a watch, my budget would be 80 dlls tops.

I have a Timex Ironman watch. I bought it for $30 at Target. It holds 30 splits, when you split, it will show you your overall time and current split time. It is water resistant up to 100m (more than enough for me). It has a count down timer (I use for core workouts). You can even set it to have an alarm remind you of special days coming up (too much work for me to use this option). I love this watch. It was not expensive and is comfortable and lightweight.
