I find it useful to have a calculator handy. I have a really hard time using algebraic. Ideally I want date, time/timing, financial functions in addition to scientific.

The alternative I am thinking about is a Suunto "wristtop computer" which lacks any calculator functions but has date/time/timing, temp/barometric/altitude, compass.

True, my wife thinks the "uWatch" is ridiculous, but in the context of the things about me that she thinks are ridiculous, a nerd watch would be pretty minor.
