Android/iPhone + Strava + Powerbank + Interval Timer App + carry (arm strap or bumbag) + Bluetooth hr strap = might work out cheaper than watch based?
I need (want):
*Ability to record location via GPS and the normal things that come with that (pace etc)
*Long battery life (24hrs+)
*Programmable/customisable workouts so I can put some interval sessions in (I don't have access to a track)It wouldn't extend to the below though.
*and maybe - The watch to tell me if I'm off pace and need to speed up/slow down (hopefully a feature that becomes redundant once I can run target pace on feel)
^ There may be an app for this, although would only be useful on flat routes surely?
*Optical HR would be nice too

Does a GPS watch with fairly entry level features but top end battery life (24hrs+ recording) exist? I really don't need and won't use most of the features of the Fenix5/+, Suunto Spartan, etc but those seem to be the only ones with the battery life I'd like.

As far as I can find only the higher end watches come with the bigger batteries, and I can't justify spending (or afford) £500 on a watch :( Any suggestions?
