Q. I'm looking for a GPS watch that isn't too bulky, isn't too expensive, and comes with renowned, interactive software that my girlfriend can use without throwing a fit and kicking my computer. It doesn't need to have a heart rate monitor and it doesn't have to be gender specific.
Also, I am willing to download software if there are better ones out there for running. I know all about Map My Run, but I'd rather have it work with the watch.
Thanks

I really like Garmin GPS watches and the Garmin Forerunner 405 is probably the cheapest in the series that still has GPS capabilities.

Can someone recommend a good watch?
Q. Can anyone recommend a cheap, electronic watch for a woman that isn't delicate? I'm really clumsy so if its too delicate I'll scratch it up really bad. Help?

Timex watches are made for wear and tear, and are inexpensive enough so you can replace them if you need to. They've been made for many many years, and lots have lasted through amazing things.
Watch movements tend to be around $20 or at least $100 and up - and anything in between is a gussied up $20 watch. You don't need a $500 watch if you just want something decent that will tell time. Timex has a lot of great choices, and many look far more expensive than they are.
If it isn't a Timex, it had better be a lot better - in which case, a Seiko sport watch is a wonderful choice. I wore one for years scrubbing buckets at the barn, and everything else, and it never missed a beat until the strap let go and a car ran over it! I think it was about $125 and worth every penny. Mine was like the one below - with the day and date, a really helpful feature for those of us who need to know what day it is...
Watches are somewhat like cars - you can drive an economy car or a jag, and still drive down the same road. The same is pretty much true of watches - possibly more so. It's the same time all over, and so long as yours isn't broken, it doesn't matter.
There are a lot of semi-cheap watches out there, but if you want rugged but looks like a nice watch, either cruise the Timex offerings or invest in a Seiko. I've tested both with horses, kids and dogs, and both have survived the best!
