Coros Pace 4
Light running watch under $250

If you buy through a link here, the store pays me a small commission. Your price stays exactly the same. How that works.

My short take
The Pace 4 costs $249 and weighs 32 g with the nylon band (40 g silicone). Tom's Guide reports 19 days in watch mode and 31 hours of dual-band GPS. Coros leaves it out of its published battery table, so those are reviewer figures.
