The Garmin 220 – http://theaverageguy.tv/garmin220 – I have really enjoyed having this watch.  I use it mostly for tracking my run times, but I am wearing it now as a full time watch.  Bluetooth sync, easy to use and very, very light, I really recommend this watch.

Want to take a setup with some additional features?  Touchscreen, calculated recovery time and VO2 max estimates just a part of what is an upgrade from the FR 220.  https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/into-sports/running/forerunner-620/prod122785.html
