I bought a cheap one off Amazon, it measures heart rate pretty accurately (which is what I wanted it for) but distance and speed are way off and it doesn't link to Strava or anything clever like that.

If you want accurate distance and pace you'll need a GPS watch, either one which uses your mobile phone's GPS (cheaper) or one which has it's own GPS receiver built in (more expensive).

I'm planning on treating myself to a nice one as a graduation present so I don't need to carry my phone with me 😀

Use an app on your phone maybe? Strava, MapMyFitness, run keeper etc
