The Garmin Forerunner 405CX Sports Watch is probably the best watch. My wife is into marathons and she bought one a few months ago. My sister is also getting one for Christmas. I found it great too but I don't do enough running to justify getting one myself.

The cheapest I could find the watch was on Amazon at £131. The delivery is free even through they say it only applies to UK.

The Garmin Forerunner 305 is a great watch.

I had a lend of one for a few months and thought it was brilliant.

Here is a link to a thread about watches in A/R/T http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056454677.

You will get good advice over there too if you ask.
