I second the Garmin Forerunner, although I just have the Garmin Forerunner 10
Most connect to a smartphone via bluetooth now, but check our DCRainmaker for GPS reviews and comparisons. Probably something like this though
I can't stand it personally, but I don't run that much, have a big phone and never got an arm band. I mostly bike and use a stand alone cycling GPS.
Garmin have GPS watches that will give you Strava tracks without needing to carry your cellphone, and for less money:

But battery life is limited and I think you have to explicitly download the stuff with a cable.
I gather the idea with the Fuel band is you just wear it all the time and it "just works" and seamlessly integrates with your phone.
No, I believe it does time, distance and pace. Here's the product description from Amazon.

Check out the reviews on DCrainmaker. The Garmin FR10 is a good entry-level GPS watch for about $130.
