I wear the Polar S-610. Nice thing about it is the memory storage and software. Easy to use, though a bit tough to figure out at first. Software has some great features. Bad things: Tough to push the buttons or tell when you've actually hit them sometimes.. Also, to replace the battery, I think you have to send it out. Annoying.
If you're thinking about Polar, I suggest going to their website and comparing the various models. They have an array of them depending on what you want. Some have biking-related features as well.
As for just watches, I love the Nike Triax Stamina/Speed models. Huge, huge numbers, very easy to use. Great ergonomics.

Be sure to get the "Super" variety if you buy one of these. Bigger numbers
