All I'd say is that its not going to be as impressive as a garmin gps watch like a fenix or something but does exactly what it says on the tin and is pretty much unbeatable in the £100-200 range

Check out the Garmin Instinct as well. It doesn't have a color display, but it can take a beating and the display is bright enough to read while exercising outside. I got rid of my Vantage M because I really had to strain to read the display outside.

Mr friends got an instinct really good watch but not compatable for positional lap times just distance.

Can you please describe this in better detail as to how that corresponds to the litpro app?

I use a Polar Vantage.

I couldn't get MXBuddy to work for me. I installed LitPro and it just immediately worked totally automatically. I am a slow vet rider - accuracy in lap times is not nearly as important as just counting the number of laps and getting me in the neighborhood. I would be more critical of the lack of accuracy if I was fast and chasing a championship or something. Also, I'm an apple user.

The heart rate tracking and Flow app has been a lifechanger for me. Having my cardio quantified and looking at my progress (or lack thereof) is very effective at holding me accountable and getting my ass off the couch. I had no idea this feature would have such an impact on my life.

He doesn't use the app, with his instinct he has to do a lap to get the distance then that sorts his lap times. If he takes different lines it alters the distance so .

Any sportswatch and Strava segments for laptimes.
For all normal people this is enough.
I have Garmin FR245 music which has wrist HR and offline Spotify which is great for running. I like push buttons only for "real use". Price wasn't too bad.

Garmin has Motorsports+ app which isn't greatest but will do if you want "live laptimes" from watch

Android phone + Racechrono app for most accurate lap/sector times for FREE. Accuracy can be increased even more with added 10Hz GPS receiver.
