    Hey Aaron, I've got the same exact watch/compass combo and I agree that it is very useful. One thing you might like is an adapter sold for this watch by countycomm that allows you to change the strap to nylon/leather/whatever you want. I switched mine to a zulu strap and I find it much more comfortable. Might be worth checking out. Nice video and have a great day!

      @@damongligaw5449 Yes I think so, but there are many g-shocks that could be considered square models, I don't know if some have different dimensions. I took this from the countycomm website:
      "These adapters have been tested to fit models including DW5600/GW5600, DW6600, DW6900/G6900 (Does NOT fit X6900), DW9000/DW9050/DW9052, G7900, G8900, GA100/GA110/GD100/GA120/GD110/GLS100/GD120, G9100, GW9200, G9300, GW9400 Rangeman, and many more!"

    Say Heah Aaron. Yeah, I also use a compass alot in the bush. I like to scout new areaa. So yeah, A Compass is needed. Infact I just got a Davly Voyager in the large. But I think the regular size is good. Yeah, I use it as my directional compass. It has the rotating bezel also. But I can still use it on the map with a little knowledge and practice.,,.

    This is a great idea! I've been using a Casio G-Shock GD-100 for a while. I have always wanted it to have a compass feature. This seems to solve that problem. Not expensive either. I just wonder if you have ever had the watch, or the steel parts on it, disturb the compass in any way?

  • @DaimyoD0
    @DaimyoD0 4 роки тому

    Gideon, have you ever had one of the Clippers fail on you? Many reviewers online, and even some viewers commenting on your videos, report the compass and ring falling out of the clip and getting lost. Apparently Suunto has to replace this reasonably often, and has allegedly told users not to glue them in, because it would prevent the rotation of the heading ring.
    Have you ever had the face fall out? And if so, after seeing the inside, do you think there would be a way to glue the compass onto the clip without locking up the ring?

    I've had an inexpensive button compass on the Zulu watch band (22mm) of my Luminox dive watch for years. I bought the Suunto in January this year ($15.83 from Amazon). I was a little concerned because my old one slid on rather than clipped. But Aaron is correct: the Suunto hasn't budged. Love this compass!
