Need a recommendation on a modestly priced GPS Watch

I've always used my smartphone to track my runs. Unfortunately the GPS unit isn't working correctly. It consistently loses a signal and regains it which results in incorrect times and distances. Apple couldn't figure out the problem. The only solution they gave me was to wipe it and reload it. (Didn't fix the problem)
The warranty only covers it for a year, so my only options are to pay $299 for a replacement or to upgrade. I'm only running 1-2 days this week (doing strength training/boot camp 4-5 days a week). I'm thinking about buying a GPS watch to use instead.
I'm looking for something fairly simple and less than $150. I'm fine with last year's model or something without all the bells and whistles. All I really need is something to track my overall time, pace and track to MFP or an online program.
Thanks!

Garmin Forerunner 110 (Amazon has it for 110) is what I used for many years until I finally upgraded to the forerunner 920xt this past year. Worked extremely well for me and has all the features you want.0

I got my Nike Tom Tom Sport refurbished off eBay for less than half price. Works like a champ. Came in original packaging and everything.0

I picked up a Garmin Forerunner 10 so I could see if I like having a GPS watch. Will definitely be upgrading to one with more bells and whistles someday.
One style is on amazon for less than $80 at the moment: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0090C7A5M/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_dp_ss_2?pf_rd_p=1944687682&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B00JQF6HHU&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=131M5WE07BK49608QXT6
The others are closer to $100.
It looks like you can see more stats as you run on the 110 vs on the 10. The 10 has 3 sets of info you can scroll through:
1) Current date/time
2) Calories burned/current pace
3) Total time/distance
Food for thought
