You could look at a Polar CS200. You can add a cadence sensor later if you change your mind.

How about this one instead? Much cheaper.

It's an older model. Maybe someone else on the forum uses one.

i was going to buy one of them last year, only for it to vanish mysteriously from the website. it then re-appeared 2 weeks later, AFTER i'd bought my cateye.
(micro wireless. its great, shows everything you need but doesn't have HRM)

I looked at those. Are they really good? My wife could do with one for running.

Lidl ones work just as well as the more expensive ones... plus you will have £50+ left over to treat yourself to something else
