I am trying to get in better shape because l joined the Military.l was trying to find a good watch that basically just tells me how far l have ran and in what time. Also needs to be waterproof and even better if anyone knows if l can take it with me to boot camp. Thanks.

Depending on what kind of technology u want. There is a wide range of good watches that does all those things & more. A heart rate monitor watch, is great. It takes ur heart rate, calories, time (offcourse), distance & more. This is great for getting fit, u enter all ur personal data & it works out a basic fitness level for u & tells u when u need to train more or even when ur overtrainig. POLAR is the best brand, there is a wide range so u would have to decide witch one is the best for you. Hope that helped

So you are looking for a GPS watch? l have heard good things about Garmin and POLAR. They are a bit more expensive than a regular watch. l just use a Timex Iron Man one because l usually know the distance of the routes l run.

Take care

If u r looking for a GPS watch with a heart rate monitor go with the Garmin Forerunner 305 or 405. If u do not need the heart rate monitor go with the cheaper Forerunner 205. Garmin is great although the 203 & 305 r pretty big- l have heard that the 405 is a bit smaller than those. l just checked my manual on the 205 & it says it is not intended for use while swimming but is water resistant up to 1 meter under water for 30 minutes at a time. Not sure about the 305 or 405. You could check on their website.
