-Must be reliable (duh, no cheap things that don't work)
-Must be able to give distance in both miles and kilometers
-Must be able to give pace in both miles and kilometers
-Must be able to glow in the dark since I run at night a lot
I hope I wasn't too picky, but I don't know much about GPS watches.
Garmin 110 will give all of those basic features.
I'd bump up to the 210 to add intervals support though for expandability.
Plus, it's super easy to use. I used to have a 405, and hated the touch bezel.
Interesting. I can see how the touch bezel could be annoying if it keeps moving through screeens when you dont want it to. However, I have a 610 and it works pretty slick. It may just be the difference in models. I have no complaints on the 610 other than the "load" time to find the satellites. It also doesn't look so geeked out so I can wear it for everyday use as well.
I am using this one. It is great for running at night. The touchscreen is easy to use even when your hands are sweaty (which was one of my concerns).
It has been on the market since the end of last year but Motorola continues to push updates that make this thing better and better. There was initial concern with poor battery life when released but after software updates, battery life is not an issue anymore.
Don't buy that piece of shyt Nike Watch!
I find it funny that everyone hates the touch bezel on the 405...i set the 3 data fields that i want to see and i lock the bezel...when i am training i do not need to be paging through different data fields and seeing a bunch of different things...give me my 3 data fields that i want to see and i can check out all the other stuff after my run.
If you are someone who wants to page through a bunch of different things during your run stay away from the 405/410 but if you just want to see 3 data fields while running and can look at the other stuff after you run the 405/410 is a great choice...and i think the 405 is down to about $170 now.
What about the Forerunner 110? Anyone?

Count me as another guy who really likes the MotoACTV.
Garmin 410.
You will hear complaints about the touch bezel from some people, but I haven't experienced any problems. I have used this watch for 2 years now, love it.
When searching for a watch, remember not only to look at hardware. The garmin connect website is fantastic, really helpful.
A Garmin 110 and 210 will do everything you want. Battery life is not great (maybe 4-5 hours), but it should get you through all your runs, as long as you don't forget to charge (easy via usb, make it a routine after every run).
I am sure there are many other watches that work, too.
