I have a Forerunner 35. Comfortable (incl. sleeping), clear screen, does what I need it to. I ended up buying a chest strap as the wrist HR locked onto cadence occasionally – though it's fine for general health monitoring. You might have better luck. The wrist sensor technology can get confused by things like hairy wrists or black skin. I suppose there's only so much they can do with the algorithm. I also have delicately tapering forearms befitting my pale wanness, so the strap won't keep it shoved up like how what they recommend you done it.
These days I've turned off notifications and the move alert, and mainly use it for recording runs, watching km splits in situ (or HR if doing long winter runs and trying to keep it zone 2), and intervals.
No real qualms with the device.
