I want to buy a running watch. What is your favorite and why?

Details: I need it to track distance and speed and heart rate, not doing anything much more complicated.
I don’t want to pay a subscription for it each month. Looking for around USD $250 but would be ok with less if that exists and is durable and easy to use. Would love to buy used but don’t know if there’s a marketplace for that.
Longest runs are right now 2.5 hours so let’s pretend I might do double that (for battery life purposes).
I think I want built in GPS but I’m not certain.
I’m over forty so can’t read tiny fonts while running.
