GPS watch recommendations?

Just wondered what GPS watch is everyone using?

I've always used a smartphone, but know having a GPS watch is really the way to go for training.

I'm at a loss, any recommendations?

Some are so complex!  I just want time, distance, average min miles and current split pace all displayed simultaneously.

Any help appreciated.

    You might struggle to find one which shows four things on one screen. Most, in my experience, only show three aspects on one screen.

    I have had a Garmin for seven years now (various ones as I upgrade and pass on), very happy with them, but other makes are available!

    My polar has 4 metrics on the screen.
    I'd be wary about having current split pace,depending on satellite coverage it can be pretty jumpy.

    Can't fault Garmin. I use a Garmin 735XT, you can have 4 fields on a single screen.

    They currently have it on offer here, and it includes the HRM monitor which I highly recommend. It gives a more accurate heart rate reading, and also some additional metrics.

    Garmin Connect will also sync your activities with many other platforms automatically e.g. Strava, Nike run, MapMyRun etc.
