Which watch?
Steve is looking for suggestions for a running watch (aka cool-gadget that you can pretend you really really need to become a runner). Get the Garmin Forerunner. It provides everything you need - except a heart rate meter (which you should also get). In particular, due to the GPS functionality you can run where you want to - when you want to - and the Forerunner will tell you how far you've run, your average pace and draw a neat little map of your track. It gives you the freedom to choose your course on a whim - spot something interested you'd like to look at - then just run there. No need to run a set course (which can get really boring). More details here.

Having something on your wrist that will accurately track distance is going to be a real plus point. There's nothing more annoying than either having to stick to a route or not knowing how far you've actually gone. My Forerunner is currently in Sparks, Nevada, en route to California. :-)
