>>Presumed....I have not worn any Palm or Tie for many years or Cell phone ever, so am glad to have a light wt multifunction watch/altimeter/compass, but understand your freedom....<<

I don't think you'd trade your large freedom for my small one. :-)

The Suuntos are large watches, but they're *amazingly* lightweight (you have to heft one to appreciate it), and the curved contours mean that they don't interfere with sleeves nearly as much as some thinner watches with hard lines. Good design.

I haven't had to wear a tie in a few months now, but that's fairly unusual as far as my career goes. To be honest, in many of the places I've worked, a high-tech watch is not really acceptable anyway. No one will TELL you that they're not, they'll just alter their opinion of you for wearing it. I think it was Paul Fussel who observed that the less information a watch conveyed, the higher the class signal in our society. With a suit , when I wear a watch, I wear one of three analog watches without even a date or second hand- they're just masculine jewelry, part of the uniform, like the smallsword in the late 18th century.

I've been toying with the idea of asking for suggestions related to the outfit anyway. I like to carry a folding knife. For years, that has usually been a CRKT Sampson's KISS clipped to the backside of the leather Palm case on my belt, out of sight.. but my new Palm is much smaller, and that doesn't work anymore.

These (warmer) days, the uniform of the day is usually polo shirt, khakis, and loafers... not much room for easy concealment. I carry a lot of stuff in a shoulder pouch to and from work, but I'm often out of my office (meetings, lunch) without it. Sometimes I remember to pocket the "Altoids" style tin on the way out, but there's still no convenient place for a decent size folder. Front pockets tend to be cluttered already, back pockets and clips are too revealing. Mutter, mutter....
