Well, I am a serious high school runner, and I am looking for a device that is within the budget of 300 dollars, that can provide an accurate reading of my pace and distance, as well as render itself useful as a chronograph. I don't want any heart rate monitor or anything of such manner, just a device that can prove its purpose. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
GPS watch
Garmin Forerunner.... its very basic but it does everything you need it to do.
I would suggest getting a pair of AISportage shoes. I picked a pair up and they are pretty cool. They have a fitness tracker the going in the insole so they can track pace, distance, stride ect like you want. One of the cool features is that they give you advice on how to adjust your stance or running style based on your probation, what part of your foot you strike with ect. I paid $130 for mine, but I think they were on sale last month.

Probation? I thought that was an ankle bracelet, not a running shoe?
Garmins are great. Forerunner 235 is a great model.
I picked up 15 of those FR235's for my collegiate team... for those that can't afford a running watch. I assign it out when I hand out uniforms.
I used the garmin forerunner 15 all throughout high school and my freshman year of college. The most basic ones now being made are the 35, but I believe you can find the forerunner 15 or 25 online. Tracks time, distance, pace and calories and can have different alarm and lap settings. I really like it, it serves me well without being too much.
I've had my FR15 for 3 years now, and it does everything I need to do, for what I do with it.
