A place for runners.

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!

Here's an in-depth review of the Pace 2 from DC Rainmaker:

Since the review, the software has been updated, there's an online training calendar and data summary, more sport modes, better models of running performance, and navigation (breadcrumb.)

The Coros site has some open box Pace 2s for 159 USD.
