OOhhh. OOohh. I know this one. I just got a snazzy one called the Polar 625X Running Computer (there is a bike gizmo sold separately, if that interests you...).
It tells you your pace, your "percent" heartrate, actual BPM, distance, amount of time exercising, etc.
Of course, the only thing I've figured out so far is how to set it for my heart rate and the time and date. It comes with a CD that you can download all your fitness information into the watch (needless to say, I'm nowhere near that level of complexity yet.)
