Does anyone know the best type of watch to purchase for working out?

I live in florida..just moved back and I refuse to waste money on a gym membership! haha it’s so nice out all the time so I figured I would just start runnung, biking, and swimming. I’d eventually like to train for triathalons!! soo anywhoo i’m trying to find the best watch that can somehow conitor my heart-rate and calories burned. oo and the catch is im a poor struggling college student! so i dont want to spend more like $70

you’ll pay over $70 in stores, but watch ebay for a little while and a good deal shouldn’t be hard to find.

Buy yourself a nice Timex watch. It has just about everything you need. You won’t spend more than $50 on it. Walmart or Target carry them. Look for sales.
