I am looking to buy a GPS running watch for my 59-year old dad for christmas. he is a pretty low maintenance guy and wouldn't need any of the advanced features (just basic pace, mileage, time). i am looking for a mid-level model, reputable brand, ideally somewhere in the $75-150.

i know very little about GPS and have never really shopped around for them. any ideas or suggestions, for those of you who have used them, that would be good to look into or those to avoid?

anyone know of any cyber monday or post-black friday sales still going on?

thanks

Honestly the Garmin 305 is still one of the best watches you can get, with a huge, customizable screen and heart rate monitor if he wants it. It's not as small and attractive as the newer ones, but you can find one for $130 while most newer ones are $200-400. I've had one for three years and it still works perfectly and I still record most of my runs on it.

Soleus came out with a gps for $99 - pace, distance, time. No computer support/data hook up. Worth looking into.

for 200 bucks you can get the garmin 210 or the Nike GPS sportwatch, both of which are great watches and very easy to use. very dependable and simple. gives time, distance, average pace, and instantaneous pace, among other features.
