opinions on watch

I agree that the watch face is too big, and personally I'm not a fan of the big raised numbers on a dress watch either. Not sure what your budget is but a combo like this could work well under $100. https://www.reddit.com/r/casio/comments/12wj38l/mtp1302d_jubilee/ OP from that started with a Casio MTP-1302D, threw out the standard oyster style bracelet, and put in a jubilee.

Traditional stitched leather hiking boot

On a tight budget these are fine. They weigh a ton but if you're only day hiking and keeping it under 10 miles it's not a huge deal. They're technically resoleable too, but the interior lining on mine feel noticeably worn down after only a few hundred miles so it's kinda academic for what it would cost to re-sole them. With a coupon code and sale you should be able to get them cheaper that the $165 they're listed for. https://www.eddiebauer.com/p/91900025/men's-k-6-boots?size=&sizeType=&color=Timber

good gym pants that are comfortable and not tight?

I like LL Bean stuff for this. In my case running and cycling both indoor and outdoor. I have them with the jogger cuffs but you can get them as regular open legs too. I like the jogger ankles better for cycling/spinning though https://www.llbean.com/llb/shop/126016 And then for shorts I do these: https://www.llbean.com/llb/shop/120240

Does Gramicci Pants work for shorter guys

I'm 5'5" and have a few pairs of Gramicci pants. Loose tapered fit is pretty big in the thigh and they already come with a pretty short inseam out of the box. They're actually the only pair of pants I haven't needed to get hemmed. Aesthetically it's a pretty GORPy vibe, especially in my case with the tobacco and olive cord fabrics. If you want a straight fit, the Camp Ground pant is pretty solid, though you'll need to see who still has them in stock. Those are gonna be way more of a workwear vibe. It's a heavy duck canvas fabric with a double knee.

J Crew Pacer Boots

I have a pair of them in that lighter shade of brown in your picture. Generally I agree with GSH that darker ones will be 'easier' but I feel like it depends on the rest of your wardrobe. I wear mine with a lot of olive and khaki/beige tones fairly easily. I love them with my Stan Ray OG107s and gramicci pants and stuff like that. I don't typically wear mine with denim though, and when I do it trends to be a more medium shade and never with a dark indigo.

Unexpected Inspo - Topic of the day 3/24/24

I draw a decent amount of inspo from the aesthetics and color palettes from a lot of Bikepacking stuff. It probably tangentially inspires the GORP-ier stuff that I like. https://bikepacking.com/plog/

Men's multipurpose cargo pants, light hiking/casual office

Depending on how casual your office is, maybe a pair of Gramicci pants? Here's a couple of listings but you might need to hunt around at other stockists to find your size. https://gramicci.com/collections/mens-pants/products/cargo-pant https://gramicci.com/collections/mens-pants/products/nylon-tussah-convertible-pant I do hardware engineering at a fairly laid-back company, and Grammicis with a rugby shirt is pretty standard fare for me. Range of motion is great, and a lot of their stuff is gusseted. The relaxed tapered stuff is very roomy in the thighs, and even the regular fit stuff like these should be pretty generous too.
