Can't really do any better than look at the DC Rainmaker site (although be prepared to lose hours of your life).

We got a [url= http://www.dcrainmaker.com/2013/07/tomtom-runner-multisport.html ]TomTom Multisport[/url] (The "Runner" model is cheaper) for £100 and are pretty pleased with it.

Simple to use, not massively chunky, does what it's supposed to do...

Only gripe is that me and MrsV are sharing it and it's really designed to be a one-person device which means uploading the activity to the correct person's Strava/Endo account at the end of the run is more hassle than it would be otherwise. Obviously this isn't really the device's fault 🙂

I-gotu from Maplins. It takes 5 minutes or so to download the data to it's own software, create a gpx file and upload that to Strava but it's cheap and about the size of a matchbox.

The tom tom looks ace - is it better than a garmin forerunner 10 or forerunner 15

I've just got the Tom Tom runner gps when at a good offer price at sweatshop. Can sync to phone via Bluetooth and upload immediately to many sites including strava for viewing. seems a bit smaller and lighter than a couple of different garmin watches which my wife has also the button interface is nice and simple to use compared to touch bezel on garmin. Multi sport may allow you to choose the sport on the watch if you use it for cycling too? I have to go in to strava and change the activity as all upload as runs (or I may have missed something)!

sounds good - can you add a HRM if desired?

I've got a 410. Deal off Amazon wasn't much more than the more basic models.

Garmin xt310 with HRM. Seems you can get them for about £120 now. You might not think you need all that data but given you're already asking about adding a HRM you will 😉
