Subject: Good digital watch?

In the past couple of weeks I have noticed that it is incredibly hard for me to keep track of my time when I am running. The only watch I have is my citizen, and it is near impossible for me to read while I am running. What do some of you recommend as a fairly cheap digital watch?

Keep in mind I am a total newbie...

You can spend about as much as you want to on a watch, depending on what you want it to do for you.  Timex has a pretty wide variety, from models with GPS arm-band units that will give you speed/pace and heart rate, to basic stop-watch digitals. One of the mainstays of triathletes is the Timex Ironman Triathlon, as it takes multiple split times that you can review later.

If all you're wanting to do is track total run time, though, just about any digital watch with a stop-watch function will do it for you.

I've been using the Timex IM HRM as my everyday watch for years - they can be had for under $70 these days.

I've got a Timex Ironman that I've been really pleased with - $40 at Target.

Sounds like the Timex Ironman is the way to go.
