Beginner watch recommendations (sh.itjust.works)

Started running once or twice a week ever since my company signed up for a corporate 5K and I'm interested in tracking progress and pacing myself without pulling a phone out (I use a Garmin bike computer when cycling).

I'm not looking for a full featured smartwatch, just a cheap way to track pace and distance, possibly a map option if I decide to spend a bit more. What are your recommendations for a beginner watch?

Thanks!

Garmin 45 or 55. 100%

Do these have the daily suggested workouts?

@richard_wagner @ronalicious The 55 supports them (not used them but seen the menu) https://support.garmin.com/en-GB/?faq=79rEUftbNb60jd3GYqlYr8
(I use a 55 and it does everything I want/need)
