You should try a Garmin.

Garmin has been exceptional since before 2007 (that's when I bought my 305). It's been doing really well in revenue and growth recently.
Do you recommend any one of their watches in particular? Is the 305 still good to buy?
That's a really really old model. I haven't used one recently - I'd say look at Amazon reviews. Friends who have bought them swear by them and my experience with them was exceptional.
Is there a specific garmin you recommend?
It really depends on your price tolerance and features you want. Pricing really wasn't an issue for me, and my activities are all across the board from running to biking to swimming to weight lifting, etc. - so I went with a Fenix3 HR.

I'm still stunned how much better the battery life is given the features it has. And the built-in GPS is SO NICE - but then again you'd kind of expect that from Garmin.

Does it mirror notifications from your phone?
