Started running once or twice a week ever since my company signed up for a corporate 5K and I’m interested in tracking progress and pacing myself without pulling a phone out (I use a Garmin bike computer when cycling).

I’m not looking for a full featured smartwatch, just a cheap way to track pace and distance, possibly a map option if I decide to spend a bit more. What are your recommendations for a beginner watch?

Thanks!

    My wife got me a Fitbit, I think the Inspire 3, and it has more than enough functionality for me as a casual runner. I’m happy with it.

      Can that work without a phone? A lot of the Fitbits I’ve seen are heavily reliant on the phone app.
