I want one that measures your pulse and how many steps you take and how far you go at what speed, is there any like that? Money isn't really an issue but cheaper would be good.
Answer
I really like Nike+ SportWatch GPS, I bought mine here:

I've run 6 marathons so far (a little over 1 per year), and always love to have new technology to play with during training. I bought the Nike Sportwatch shortly after it came out. I was not impressed. It really liked a lot of critical features, and the website was constantly having issue.
Multiple months and 600+ mileson it later, I'm happy to say that I really enjoy it. Nike has been incredible about this launch. Every couple of months they've continuously added more and more new features. The website is still slow, but they are launching a new one in ealy 2012. The new features on this watch put it among the best out there.
New features:
- Walk/Run timer (interval timer as well)
- Avg, Pace
- Improved Mapping
- Set time on the device (no computer needed)
- Incredibly fast satellite connection (even in the city)
- Auto calibration of foot pod
- Faster upload speeds to add your runs
- Integration with Facebook
All in all, a great watch. This one will work for new runners and advanced runners. The only people that this isn't a great choice or is ultramarathon ruuners. Battery life with GPS is 8-10 hours...not long enough for a 50-80 KM.
Having owned Polar RS800, Polar RCX5, Garmin 305, Garmin 310XT, and Garmin 210, I would put this up there as one of my faorites. The website is the best one out there, and the sites detailed training programs are worth using to achieve your best time yet.

THE WORLD: What do you think of the London 2012 Olympics so far?
Chloe
Opening cermony?
Sport?
Athletes?
The city?
The home crowd?
Medal table?
Better than previous Games?
I'm from Newcastle in England and I've just came back from London a few days ago. The atmosphere there is incredible. Unfortunately I couldn't get tickets to any events but being there was amazing all the same. I think London and the UK in general are doing such a fantastic job at welcoming the world.
Answer
The Opening ceremonies were pretty prime, really. Awesome encapsulation of some of the unique qualities of British culture and history. I loved the NHS part with the Marry Poppins kicking Voldemort's ass, as narrated by JK Rowling. Damn that was cool. The house party was laggy and I rolled my eyes throughout the entire social-media romance routine because it felt like such a ploy to attract young users. I love social media but, serious IOC, I'm not watching the opening ceremonies for adoration of facebook and twitter. Overall it was super fun though. I think the fact that they wouldn't have a moment of silence for the athletes murdered at the 1972 games because it was 'political', all the while commemorating the 5th anniversary of the terrorist attacks on the London tube was absolute hypocritical.
The sports have been ho-hum. Badminton's scandal was, honestly, more funny than any else but the whole fencing issue is just depressing. I felt bad for the Korean. She got robbed because of a fifteen year old volunteer's timing mistake? Pretty shitty organization.
As for the athletes, its as to be expect I guess. Phelps, Bolt, blahblahblah. All very impressive. I think the people I'm most impressed with are Douglas, who's the first non-whtie woman to win the all around title, and the South-African runner who's a double amputee. Also love that all countries now have female representation. That's a big step forward! Very excited to see the Federer/Murray rematch (stupid tape delay).
I love London. Spent a year studying in England and I adore the city. Media in Canada hasn't really focused a whole lot on the crowd. Seems like they really love their athletes from the cheering when their people win.
Medal table is as expected. USA and China beating it out for number one. No shockers there.
Well, I'm coming off an olympic high with the winter games being held in my hometown in 2010, so I have to say no. I mean, Canada won the most gold medals at those games! That's fantastic! I loved watching my country-mates win on home soil. I love hockey. I loved watching the gold medal goal soar into the American net. But in terms of summer games, I have to say they've been pretty top notch! Better than Athens for sure.
