I want to buy a watch that is especially suited for runners training
for marathons.  I want to spend less then $150.  I have been
unsuccesful at finding a watch in that price range that is suited
specifically for runners.  To clarify, I know that there are expensive
watches out there with many bells and whistles, but I also know that
there are watches out there that do the pretty much the same things
and are just basic, quality watches that would be useful to a runner.

Hi,
What about Polar F11. Its a watch and a heart rate monitor and would
be good for his/her running.

Thanks, usaman-ga, I'll look into that.  Do you have any ideas for a
watch under $100?

thanks for all the hard work, this is wonderful, go ahead and post it
as the official answer
best,
natalie
