No Frills GPS Computer or Watch

I'm looking for very basic GPS functions in a bike computer or watch:
- will be used with two bikes (both road)
- current speed (without a separate sensor), distance, avg speed, time of day, ride time, elevation is a nice to have
- not too concerned about battery life as the bike rests in an area where I have cables ready for charging lights
- easy to use at the start and during the ride is nice, but I don't plan on flipping screens much (given I want only basic information)
- I ride in low light and in darkness sometimes during winter, while not critical that it's backlit or has a button to show details in darkeess, it's a nice to have

I don't care about maps, colour, cadence, integration with anything at all (no HR, Power, Strava, etc.).

Will not be used as a training computer or for navigation, simply for basic details during and after a ride. I've used sensors in the past with basic displays and want to test out the GPS route.

I'm starting to research both bike computers and watches...but any experience and recommendations are welcome -- thanks!
