Which GPS watch is the best for running but inexpensive?


I am about to start training for my 3rd marathon and would like to invest in GPS watch to tell me my pace/distance. I know the Garmins are popular, but also expensive. I don't want to buy a watch that has more functions that I need but I do want a reliable watch that won't loose satellite signals easily. Any suggestions on what to buy or not to buy?

The Garmin Forerunner 205 would be your best bet, you can google it and find it on some online sites for around $150. Don't get any of the older models of Garmin such as the 50 or 201, I've heard they are the ones which lose receiption when in wooded or tree lined areas.
