Same situation here. It seems there are an unlimited number of options and it's hard to differentiate as the features are very similar.
I'm on the lookout for:
- decent navigation
- long batter life
- integrated HR monitor
- sub £300 (new or used, don't mind)
Let me know what you end up with.
And if anyone else has a suggestion that fits this ^ please let me know.
- decent navigation
MrBaklava-
I'd take a serious look at one of these https://www.coros.com/apex.php

Whilst we're talking watches.......
I've been pondering the idea of getting a watch for a while. My partner @speculoos has a Garmin forerunner and I use that for pacing etc. and it works great.
To compliment that I would love a watch that has a few more functions for trail running, mountaineering, ski touring and navigating. I'd love a watch with a barometer and altimeter, as well as an ability to load .gpx tracks onto it.
I appreciate that this might not be something that people on this thread are always looking for, but I'm struggling to figure out the market so if anyone has any knowledge I would be much obliged.
This seems to be very good for the price https://www.outdoorgearlab.com/reviews/camping-and-hiking/gps-watch/suunto-ambit-3-peak and I can't make heads or tails of why there are some that cost triple this....
