There are some negative reviews on amazon so I was wondering what the best one is? Amazon links would be helpful. Are they pretty accurate in terms of mileage?

I would h)ghly recommend Timex Ironman Global Trainer. I have this watch myself. Simply love it.
It has both GPS and HRM.
You can set the distance you want to run and even count on the settling to repeat the alert to you.(For example, every 1km.)
It also allow you to record the data according to timing. (For example, record your speed, pace and others data very 15 minutes.)
I had this watch and simply love it.
However, Garmin will be a few dollars cheaper than Timex.
But, I also love the performance of timex. It is easy to use.

For accurate of the GPS of Timex Global Runner, it is only about 40 meter different. For once, I run six round the inner line of the stadium for testing 2.4km. So divide by six, it is about 6 to 7 meter shortage very round. Take note that it is the inner round.
Don't test GPS watch round the track, it's rubbish no matter what watch you use. GPS is accurate to around 10m. This averages out to be pretty accurate over a normal run round trails/parks.
For GPS watch reviews, this guy has the best coverage, and crazy in depth reviews:
On the same subject which is the cheapest one which works?
I like that dcrainmaker site (lots of Garmin reviews). However.
He currently reviews a cyclists black box the "Cerevellum Hindsight – which is a accident protection system that acts both as a rear-view mirror, but also a black box of sorts. In the event of a crash, the system will save the video file leading up to the crash – potentially giving you (or someone else) the evidence you need." That's what I would want.
As a runner, cyclist, swimmer I would rather catch a hit and run driver anytime then worry about my mileage/running pace.
