I am new to this type of running and need to be able to monitor my heart rate. Distance is important also and am not sure if GPS or Pedometer is best.
Garmin Forerunner 305. A pedometer is based on stride distance and this varies widely based on how tired you are you, weather or not you are running up or downhill, etc.

I like Polar. Had another one, can't remember who's it was but I think it was Timex and it sucked.

Hello,
I would recommend either the Garmin Forerunner 301 or 305. I have the 201 and have been thrilled with it. A good friend of mine has the 301 (like 201…but with HR monitor), and he seems happy with it. Check out the product review below for more info. Good luck!

My Wife had a Polar watch and I had the generic version I got at Aldi. They both seemed to work the same. Polar probably made them both.
stay away from the pulse watches that require you to put your finger on it. really worthless.
The Polar chest band is also compatible with treadmills
