miCoach by Adidas is way more cooler! Not only will it monitor your distance, your pace.. it monitors your heart rate and it has really cool options if you want it to coach you to learn to run or lose weight or perhaps run a race, it would tell/coach you to slow down or to run faster or maintain your pace depending on the program you choose. super cool.
Costs around Php 6k..
