My son, in his mid-20's, is asking me for a recommendation for a watch to wear while running. He wants primarily to track distance, and thus it would need GPS, and speed. E.g., he wants to know when he's run 1 mile and how long it took.
Are there accurate HR reading available from a wrist-only unit, or does one need the chest strap?
Do wrist-only units have GPS functionality?
Anything else I should know?
This one looks promising at about $150:
