Garmin Forerunner 610. I am using Forerunner 405 now & no regret despite using a replacement unit now.

Get a Garmin. Buy it from Amazon cos its a whole lot cheaper than getting it locally.

Garmin brand has always been faoured by runners. I also use the Nike Plus afew years back. Soleous also has GPS. Motorola Motoactv is the recent entry.

Any of these are ok but whatever u do DO NOT GET A TIMEX IRONMAN GPS RUN TRAINER....the build quality is crap and there is no aftersales support here...I found that out the hardway

Realistically, less than 6hrs.

Anything more than that can buy Garmin 910, Garmin Fenix or Suunto Ambit.

I have a Garmin forerunner 210. Good size/weight and it works ok except for two issues : GPS signal takes an extremely long time to lock (~5 mins) and the USB connection stopped working after awhile so the data can't be downloaded.

I got mine through the net.

It's based in Hong Kong. I like the watch but it's not very water resistant. I've used it only for about a month before it fogged out due to condensation inside the watch (like some of the head lamps). I hope this is one off and now I'm waiting for it to be fixed under warranty.
