The GPS Watch from runtastic records important parameters from your run: pace, laps, calories, distance, target HR zones, speed, duration, time, elevation and heart rate.  After the run, connect the watch to your computer with the included USB cable to transfer your data to your profile at runtastic’s website to analyze your metrics.  The watch display is customizable, and it has a compass and navigation function.  The battery lasts about 14 hours on a charge with GPS.  The runtastic GPS Watch costs €149.99; unfortunately, runtastic seems to ship only in Europe.

There are many watches on the market today that cater to the tech geek wanting a wristwatch, but wanting something with geek style too. The latest of this sort of watch is the 4-bit Binary Chronograph Watch. The geek factor of this watch is the replacement of the numbers on the face with binary.
