Spare GPS suggestions

Hi all! I'm looking for suggestions for a GPS unit I can keep at work/in my car. I run at work (either at lunch or after hours) several times a week, but I'm bad about forgetting my Garmin at home. I don't really care for the phone apps because I've found them inaccurate (could be an issue with my phone's GPS). And, I'm OCD enough to really "need" my pace/mileage tally during my runs. So, I'm thinking about a second GPS so I don't have to worry about remembering my Garmin in the mornings when I'm trying to get a toddler and myself out of the house. It's down to the Soleus Fit 1.0 and Timex Marathon -- anyone have any experience with either of these? Both are running about $80-$90 right now with various sales. I just need a basic unit, I don't have to have transfer capability or HRM. Any input is appreciated. Thanks!

If you wear Nike I'd suggest the Nike+ shoe pod, only 25 bucks and should meet your needs.0
