Beginner watch recommendations (sh.itjust.works)

Started running once or twice a week ever since my company signed up for a corporate 5K and I'm interested in tracking progress and pacing myself without pulling a phone out (I use a Garmin bike computer when cycling).

I'm not looking for a full featured smartwatch, just a cheap way to track pace and distance, possibly a map option if I decide to spend a bit more. What are your recommendations for a beginner watch?

Thanks!

I think that with the forerunner 245 (€150 you can find it new) you have a watch with plenty of running and multi-sports features for years.
