I am running a half marathon in like 3 weeks and the Chicago Marathon in October so I want to invest in a GPS watch to track my outdoor runs.

Anyone know what one of these GPS watches would work the best with Ubuntu ?

I am using Xubuntu 13.10 and Ubuntu 12.04 right now. But will be upgrading to Ubuntu 14.04 and Xubuntu 14.04 for most of them when they come out

I own a Garmin Forerunner 305 GPS unit and it runs well with Ubuntu. You can try slickymaster's recommendation on the product that you see on Kickstarter campaign, it's the latest GPS watch I think.
