For running I use a Garmin 305 wrist watch type device, it has GPS, HRM, Altitude, You download from the device to Garmin Training center on my home computer to see the details and maps or upload to Garmin connect which saves it online. I like the online option as I can share runs w/ others. Battery life used to be very good as up to 4-5hr events were doable, w/ age the battery life has decreased, Now I get a warning a little after 1 hr and it shuts down a little after 2 hr. Have to look into a new battery.
I also use a 500 for bicycling, it has been great for 6hr rides and does pretty much the same as the 305 but w/ cadence and in a form that is more compatible for riding.
I don't use the HRM much any longer, Once I got a feel for the correlation between the #s and perception I was set, now I'm using the up and down grade features to get a feel for them, 15% up grade is a bit*h
