Sport Watches

I am looking top buy a GARMIN Forerunner 405 but im getting confused in whether or not i need to buy the foot pod to allow me to see my pace?
Are there any other watches “good” that shows pace and distance ran?

i just recently bought the garmin fr60 watch offline, and it came with a heart moniter but not a foot pod i bought one seperately and it wont connect to my watch, what do i do?
